Peruvian authorities say the magnitude 5.1 and 3.7 quakes were in the mountainous Junin region east of Lima.
The report of twin earthquakes in Peru is corroborated by both Al Jazeera and The Guardian, confirming the event and the resulting casualties. While there is a minor discrepancy in the death toll (five vs. six), the core event is verified by multiple independent trusted sources.
