An earthquake with preliminary magnitude of 7.1 has struck southern Peru, 67km north-northwest of Juliaca, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The quake's epicentre was 26km (16 miles) north-northeast of Azangaro near the Peruvian border of with Bolivia.
According to the agency, the quake occurred unusually deep at 257 km. Most big quakes in South America occur at a depth of 70km or higher.
Based on all available data a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
The 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck just before 4am on Friday morning and was unusually deep at 258 km
The earthquake struck at 3.50am (8.50am GMT) and was felt across South America in neighbouring Brazil, Bolivia and Chile.
As of now there are no reports of harm to people or property. A video posted on Twitter showed a chandelier rocking back and forth during the powerful tremors, but no damage was visible in the house.
Peru sits on on Earth’s so-called ‘Ring of Fire’ - a horseshoe-shaped geological disaster zone which sees 90 per cent of the world's earthquakes occur on it.
The seismic region stretches along the Pacific Ocean coastlines, where the Pacific Plate grinds against other plates that form the Earth's crust.
Earthquakes are triggered when these plates scrape or slide underneath one another, and when that happens at sea it can spawn tsunamis.
Today's earthquake comes just a week after a deep 7.5 magnitude quake struck the Peru-Ecuador border region.

According to the ag...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
