At least 17 killed in Peru bus fire: officials
Seventeen people have been killed and eight more injured after a double-decker bus caught fire at an illegal transport terminal in the #Peru'vian capital #Lima, a spokesman for the country's firefighters said. Witnesses said the fire on Sunday started in the bus's motor at the rear of the vehicle and quickly spread to its interior, spokesman Lewis Mejia told reporters, adding that the cause of the first was under investigation.
Lima's Mayor Jorge Munoz said the bus burst into flames at the Fiori bus terminal that authorities had banned just weeks ago because it was located next to an illegal shop that sells fuel. "It appears that on the second floor of [the] bus, where most of the victims were found, they were transporting fuel. That's a very serious matter," Munoz told journalists in broadcast comments before visiting survivors at a local hospital.

Magnitude-8 earthquake strikes Amazon jungle in Peru, killing one
A powerful magnitude 8.0 #Earthquake struck a remote part of the Amazon jungle in #Peru early Sunday, collapsing buildings and knocking out power to some areas, causing one reported death.
The quake struck at 2:41 a.m. and was centered in a vast nature preserve 57 miles east of the small town of Yurimaguas. Helping limit damage was the earthquake's depth, at 70 miles below the surface, according to the #US Geological Survey. Earthquakes that are close to the surface generally cause more destruction.
President #MartínVizcarra called for calm before traveling to the zone with members of his Cabinet to survey the damage. He said first reports indicate a bridge had collapsed and several homes and roads had been affected.
