A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck off the southern coast near the border of Chile and Argentina, sending tremors across the region. The quake occurred at a significant depth beneath the Earth’s surface, which helped minimize its impact on land.
Despite the strength of the quake, local authorities have confirmed that no damage to infrastructure or injuries have been reported so far. Emergency services were immediately placed on alert, and precautionary checks were carried out in nearby towns and coastal areas.
Residents in some parts of southern Chile and Argentina felt the ground shake for several seconds but reported no panic or major disruptions. Officials have stated that there is currently no tsunami threat and that monitoring continues to ensure public safety.
The event has served as a reminder of the region’s seismic activity, with authorities urging citizens to remain prepared for potential aftershocks.
