Peru Earthquake: Landslide and Building Collapse Following 6.1 Magnitude Tremor
A powerful 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck the coastal cities of Callao and Lima in Peru on Sunday, June 15, 2025, causing widespread damage and tragically resulting in one death. The quake, whose epicenter was relatively close to the densely populated areas, triggered landslides, sending dust clouds billowing across the beaches. Footage from the scene shows collapsed building walls and debris scattered across streets. One resident, speaking amidst the chaos, stated, "I felt the ground move violently. It was terrifying." The video also captures the dramatic moment a hillside collapsed onto a beach area, narrowly missing people. The Peruvian government has released statements acknowledging the damage and initiating emergency response efforts. While the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, the video serves as a stark reminder of the earthquake's destructive power and the resilience of the Peruvian people.
