1 dead, 5 injured after earthquake rocks Peru's capital
Lima, June 16 (UNI) At least one person was killed and five others were injured Sunday after a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Peru's capital Lima, the National Emergency Operations Center (COEN) confirmed. The earthquake took place at 11:35 a.m. local time (1635 GMT) at a depth of 49 km. Its epicenter was in the neighboring province of Callao. Police identified the dead victim as a 36-year-old motorcycle taxi driver, who was struck by a structure that toppled from the fourth floor of the building while he was waiting for a passenger outside a home, reported private news network Radio Programas del Peru. The Regional Emergency Operations Center (COER) in Lima immediately contacted all 43 districts in the capital, which reported moderate landslides on cliffs in the coastal area. Meanwhile, the Economic Operations Committee of the Ministry of Energy and Mines reported power outages in the districts of Villa El Salvador, Ventanilla, Ancon and Pachacamac. Peruvian President Dina Boluarte visited the COEN's headquarters in the Chorrillos district to assess the situation and called on the public to remain calm in the face of seismic events. "In times of an earthquake, the first thing that must prevail is calm, taking shelter under doorways, away from glass because it can shatter," the president said. UNI XINHUA ARN
