At least five people have been killed and ten others were left injured after a 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck central Peru.
The quake hit on Saturday night, with its epicentre near the town of Chupaca in the Andean region of Junín, at a depth of 24 kilometres.
Seventeen minutes later, a magnitude 3.7 aftershock struck the same area. Authorities say its intensity was much lower than the main quake, which was felt moderately in Chupaca.
Officials are continuing to assess the damage.
The worst damage was reported in the district of Chongos Bajo, where the fatality occurred, although authorities have not yet identified the victim.
