People fled into the streets and buildings suffered structural damage in Peru on Sunday as a magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck the northern part of the country, the US Geological Survey said.
The earthquake's epicentre was roughly 42 kilometres north of Barranca, a city of about 70,000 people on the coast. No casualties were reported, but some buildings in the city appeared to have suffered serious damage, videos uploaded to social media showed.
There was no tsunami expected and no warning was issued by the US Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre, which monitors earthquakes in the Pacific region.
This is a developing story.

So what is Spicy Chickenjoy?
Just as McDonald’s has the Big Mac, Jollibee has Spicy Chickenjoy – a piece of fried chicken that’s crispy and spicy on the outside and comes with a side of spaghetti, all covered in tomato sauce and topped with sausage slices and ground beef. It sounds like a recipe that a child would come up with, but perhaps that’s the point – a flavourbomb combination of cheap comfort foods. Chickenjoy is Jollibee’s best-selling product in every country in which it has a presence.
