Peru Earthquake: Power Outages Hit Lima and Callao After 6.1 Magnitude Tremor

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Lima and Callao in Peru this morning, causing widespread power outages and damage across several districts. Luz del Sur, the local electricity provider, confirmed partial service disruptions in Villa El Salvador and Villa Maria del Triunfo, and indicated that crews are working to restore power. "We are reviewing the electrical system to restore service after the interruption," stated a Luz del Sur press release. However, reports indicate power problems extended beyond these districts. Videos circulating on social media show damaged buildings and debris in the streets. One resident commented, "The shaking was intense, and then the lights went out." While Luz del Sur has yet to provide a full update on the restoration, the quick response of their technical teams offers hope for a swift resolution.
