A magnitude-5.1 offshore earthquake occurred in the South Pacific Ocean west of Valparaiso Region, Chile, at around 20:43 Dec. 28. The epicenter was about 102 km (63 miles) west-northwest of Valparaiso. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 10 km (6 miles), and weak-to-light shaking was probably felt throughout Valparaiso, southern Coquimbo, Metropolitan, and northwestern O'Higgins regions. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Light aftershocks are possible over the coming days. The event has not prompted any tsunami advisories.
