A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck the Antofagasta region of Chile on Thursday, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported. The quake occurred at a depth of 104 kilometers (64.6 miles).

Details on potential damage or casualties were not immediately available. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation for further updates.

Chile, situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is prone to frequent seismic activity due to the region’s tectonic dynamics. Residents in the area are advised to stay alert as officials assess the impact of the earthquake.
