magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck off the coast of Northern Chile on Friday, according to the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ).
The quake occurred at a depth of 104 km (64.62 miles), GFZ stated.
This seismic event follows a powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake that rocked the southern coastal region of Chile and Argentina just last month, News.Az reports citing foreign media.
The quake struck near Cape Horn, close to Antarctica, at a shallow depth of only 10 kilometers (6 miles), triggering multiple aftershocks and prompting Chilean authorities to issue a tsunami warning for the nation’s southernmost areas, as reported by AFP.
