Peruvian authorities say 112 people have been
treated for injuries after a magnitude-6.3 earthquake struck the
country's central coast. They say none of the injuries are
life-threatening.

Regional civil defense director Cesar Chonate says a boy was
hospitalized with a fractured hip but most injuries were minor and
included heart palpitations as people fled homes in panic.

Chonate says 16 homes suffered some damage in the quake, which
struck at 11 minutes after midnight (0511 GMT), nine miles (15
kilometers) southeast of Ica.

The city was badly damaged by a magnitude-8 earthquake in August
2007 and also suffered damage in a quake last October.

The U.S. Geological Survey says Monday's quake was at a depth of
24 miles (39 kilometers).
