   A magnitude 6.9 earthquake has hit a sparsely populated area of
   southern Peru.

   The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake struck late Sunday 42
   kilometers east-northeast of the town of Tambo and about 467 kilometers
   southeast of the capital, Lima, where residents felt slight shaking.

   The survey said the earthquake had a depth of 101 kilometers.

   Peru's civil defense institute said there were no immediate reports of
   injuries or serious damage.
