Severe weather is causing major airport disruptions and widespread road closures across key transit corridors, with sudden groundings at regional airports and primary highways blocked. Separately, a 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Ayacucho region, knocking out power to over 6,000 users, damaging buildings, and prompting regional schools to close for safety inspections. Check your flight status with your airline before heading to the airport, avoid rural or mountainous roads, carry enough cash to cover unexpected delays, and avoid damaged structures or overland travel near Ayacucho where aftershocks are possible.
