Magnitude 5.5 Earthquake Depth 102 km Strikes Peru-Ecuador Border Region on 8th January 2026

The Ecuador–Peru border is an international border separating Ecuador from Peru. It extends from the Pacific Ocean to the Putumayo River within the Amazon rainforest, first following the Zarumilla and Chira rivers and crossing into the Cordillera del Cóndor.
