A 5.9 magnitude earthquake rattled the region of northern Chile that has been rocked by a series of aftershocks over the last week, the US Geological Survey said today.
The quake at 12:55pm was centered 230 km southeast of Antofagasta, and was 110 km deep, the USGS said.
A week ago, a 7.7 magnitude quake near Antofagasta collapsed homes and buildings, killing two people and injuring 115, and there have been a number of aftershocks since then.
