AYACUCHO, Peru — A magnitude 6.7 earthquake shook the southern Peruvian Andes on Thursday afternoon, and while the country's Civil Defense chief initially told local radio that "no damage of any kind has been reported so far," the Washington Post is reporting at least two people injured and cracks running through homes, schools and health posts. Real damage but nothing close to the ruin that has now hit South America three separate times in under two months.
