  "summary": "A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck central Peru on Thursday, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), though authorities have reported no immediate casualties or damage. The quake's epicenter was located 31 kilometers northwest of Aniso in the Andes Mountains, at a depth of 99 kilometers. Peruvian Geophysical Institute head Hernando Tavera stated that the depth of the earthquake prevented significant damage. The population reportedly went out to the streets out of concern, but there were no reported impacts. The country, which is the world's second-largest copper producer and situated in the Pacific Ring of Fire, experiences approximately 85% of the world's seismic activity.",
