Ecuador and Peru report multiple seismic events

Multiple seismic events have been recorded in the border regions of Ecuador and Peru. On September 14, 2026, a magnitude 5.5 earthquake occurred near the border, specifically near Andoas in the Loreto department of Peru. While the Instituto Geofísico del Perú reported a magnitude of 4.8, the Instituto Geofísico de Ecuador issued a revised report of 5.5. This tremor was felt in eight cantons within Ecuador's Morona Santiago province, though the National Risk Management Secretariat classified the intensity as light with no reported damage.

Other recent activity includes a magnitude 3.9 earthquake near Puyo, Pastaza, on September 15, which was felt lightly due to its 157-kilometer depth. Additionally, a magnitude 2.7 tremor was recorded near Tabacundo in the Pichincha province, felt in sectors of northern Quito. Authorities have reported no injuries or significant infrastructure damage from these recent movements.
