Santiago, September 28 (QNA) - An earthquake measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale struck Chile on Sunday.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) said in a statement that the epicenter of the earthquake was 43 km from the village of Ollague, at a depth of 122.7 km.
In 2010, a devastating 8.8-magnitude earthquake, followed by a tsunami, struck central and southern Chile, killing around 500 people.
Chile lies on an area called the "Ring of Fire," an arc of fault lines that surround the Pacific Ocean basin and is prone to frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. (QNA)
