A 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck Peru's Andes region, killing at least six people, injuring over 30, and displacing 300. The quake, with its epicenter near Sicaya in Huancayo province, caused building collapses and structural damage. The 2007 magnitude 7.9 Pisco earthquake, which killed nearly 600, was referenced in the report.

Peru is using its diplomats to boost pisco exports, which reached a record in 2025, while maintaining its rivalry with Chile. The effort aims to expand into new markets and reinforce pisco's international presence.

Pedro Pascal, the actor, is in a legal battle with a Chilean pisco brand named Pedro Piscal, registered by David Herrera in 2023. The brand's name closely resembles the actor's name, following a pattern of Chilean brands using Hollywood-inspired names.
