An earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale struck on Sunday the province of Coquimbo in northern Chile.
The National Seismological Center of the University of Chile stated that the epicentre of the earthquake occurred 28 km from the city of La Serena in the region, at a depth of 68 km.
So far, there have been no reports of causalities or material damage due to the earthquake.
In 2010, a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck central Chile, killing at least 500 people and triggering a tsunami.
Chile is exposed to frequent earthquakes due to its location along the Ring of Fire.
