# Mexico‑Guatemala quakes & Peru seismic activity > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/colombia-weather-and-marine-warnings > Updated: 2026-09-06T16:47:59.000Z. Sources: 548. Developments: 22. The region continues to experience significant seismic events. On 17 July 2026, a shallow magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck the Pacific coast near Tapachula, Chiapas, and the adjacent Guatemalan shoreline. Tsunami alerts were issued for Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Authorities reported no casualties, but cracks appeared in several public buildings in Mexico and minor infrastructure damage was noted in Guatemala. In Peru, the Junín region has been hit by a series of earthquakes impacting the Chupaca and Huancayo provinces. A magnitude 5.0 earthquake centered near Chupaca on 6 August 2026 caused significant disruption, including injuries to at least 15 people and the collapse of over 125 homes, particularly adobe structures in the Canipaco valley. Many of these buildings had already been weakened by a prior magnitude 5.4 earthquake on 18 July. Seismic activity has triggered rockslides and landslides, blocking road infrastructure and transit between districts. The Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP) has linked this activity to the reactivation of the Altos del Mantaro fault. By 8 August, geological instability in the Soccos sector of the Chupuro district prompted approximately 80 residents of the Unión Progreso neighborhood to consider evacuation due to ongoing rockslide risks. Local reports indicated a fatal accident where a falling rock struck a vehicle, killing the driver and injuring three others. Additionally, seismic activity has damaged agricultural infrastructure, specifically pipes connected to a local reservoir, threatening water supplies for crops. In response, the regional government launched the Llamkasun Perú reconstruction programme and announced plans to declare several districts in Junín and Huancavelica in a state of emergency. On 18 August, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake (recorded as 5.7 by Guatemalan authorities) struck the Mexico-Guatemala border. In late August, Peru experienced further tremors across multiple regions, including Tumbes, Arequipa, Tacna, and Moquegua. ## Claims - No deaths, injuries, or material damage were reported.
