5.5 magnitude earthquake strikes Peru's Andes region

A big earthquake happened in Peru's Andes region.

It was a 5.5 magnitude quake, which means it was quite strong.

The earthquake killed at least five people and hurt more than twenty others.

Over three hundred people had to leave their homes because of the damage.

The earthquake's center was near a place called Sicaya, and it happened at a depth of 10 kilometers.

This depth can make the shaking stronger on the surface.

Peru is in a place where many earthquakes happen because of moving parts under the Earth's surface.

Rescue teams are helping people and checking buildings to make sure they are safe.

They are also looking for people who might still be missing.
