据美国地质调查局报道，智利中部发生了强烈的7.1级地震，地震发生在沿海城市瓦尔帕莱索以西约35公里处。
根据美国地质调查局（US Geological Survey）的数据，该地震发生在10.0公里的深度，该地震最初在6.7级进行了地震。
在当地时间下午6:38发生地震之后，国家紧急事务办公室（Onemi）停止了在瓦尔帕莱索和奥希金斯沿海地区进行预防性疏散的命令，称地震未“满足发生地震的必要条件”智利海岸发生海啸。”
Onemi宣布，根据用于测量地震强度的Mercalli强度标度，在Coquimbo和Biobio地区之间感觉到更大的颠簸。 一些地区的效能为VII点，这意味着地震释放的力量可能会损坏建筑物。
据目击者称，强烈地震震撼了首都圣地亚哥的建筑，但据报道，该地震没有立即造成人员伤亡或财产损失。
