A magnitude-5.0 earthquake occurred in the Coquimbo Region's Limari Province at around 12:21 Aug. 11. The epicenter was approximately 35 km (22 miles) west-southwest of Ovalle. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 67 km (42 miles), and weak-to-light shaking was probably felt in the Coquimbo and Valparaiso regions. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake; significant damage is unlikely. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Aftershocks are likely over the coming days. The event has not prompted any tsunami advisories.
