At least 15 people have died and more than 400 are injured after a 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck Ecuador's southern coast.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the earthquake was centered just off the Pacific Coast, about 50 miles south of Guayaquil, Ecuador's second-largest city.
The earthquake was felt in Peru from its northern border with Ecuador to the central Pacific coast.
A 14-year-old girl died in a border province in Peru when her home collapsed.
This is the strongest quake to hit Ecuador since 2016, when nearly 700 people died and thousands were injured.
In a statement, Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso said 11 of the victims died in the coastal state of El Oro and two in the highlands state of Azuay.
