Chile: earthquake in north-central region: no damage, injuries

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake has struck Chile’s north-central region but authorities say no injuries or damage were reported and discounted the possibility of a tsunami.

 

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake’s epicenter was 41 miles (66 kilometers) west-northwest of Diego de Almagro, Chile and struck Monday at 1:26 p.m. local time.

 

Chile’s emergency services office says no damage to infrastructure was immediately reported and there are no indications of casualties. The navy says no tsunami alert has been issued.
