BREAKING: Peru ROCKED By Twin Earthquakes In Junin — At Least 6 Dead And 30 Injured In Andes!

Two earthquakes struck the Andean region of Junin in central Peru on Saturday night, killing at least six people and injuring more than 30 others in a twin seismic event that flattened homes across the mountainous area, with local authorities reporting that 26 of the injured had already been discharged from medical facilities. The earthquakes caused significant structural damage to residential buildings in the region, leaving communities in the high-altitude Andean zone without shelter as emergency response teams mobilised to assess the full extent of casualties and damage. Peru is located in one of the world's most seismically active zones, situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, making the country particularly vulnerable to earthquake activity, with the Andes mountain region subject to regular tremors due to the complex tectonic activity beneath the South American continent. Rescue operations were underway as authorities worked to determine whether additional casualties remained trapped under collapsed structures in the affected communities of the Junin region.
