Magnitude 5.1 earthquake strikes near Puno, Provincia de Puno, Peru
5.1 quake 52 km east of Puno, Peru, Oct 10, 2023 11:10 pm (GMT -5)

An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 occurred late at night on Tuesday, October 10th, 2023, at 11:10 pm local time near Puno, Provincia de Puno, Peru, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate to considerable depth of 228 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.1 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Choque (pop. 380) located 7 km from the epicenter, Ilave (pop. 16,000) 16 km away, Juliaca (pop. 7,300) 29 km away, Puno (pop. 116,600) 52 km away, Putina (pop. 8,100) 58 km away, Yunguyo (pop. 16,100) 59 km away, Atuncolla (pop. 12,700) 71 km away, Juliaca (pop. 245,700) 81 km away, and Desaguadero (pop. 5,300) 85 km away.
