On November 7, 2026 at 05:36 UTC, a magnitude 4.3 intermediate depth earthquake struck 37 km E of Churubamba, Peru, at a depth of 108.8 km and coordinates -9.8421°, -75.7965°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 43 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 558 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
