A powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of southern Peru on Friday, creating tremors and concerns for residents in the region.

The authorities are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of the residents and provide necessary assistance in case of any unforeseen developments.

In the wake of the earthquake, multiple aftershocks followed the initial seismic activity, further unsettling the region.
