Another earthquake hit Chile on late Monday, the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) has reported. It occurred at 19:09:43 local
time (23:09:43 UTC). The epicenter was located 110 kilometers northwest
of Temuco; 132 kilometers southwest of Concepción; 203 kilometers north
of Valdivia and 558 kilometers southwest of Santiago.

The USGS later determined that the earthquake had a depth of 20.6
kilometers, and the epicenter was located 55 kilometers to the south of
Lebu.

The University of Chile Geological Survey reported that the earthquake
took place 71 kilometers at the west of Tirúa in the Bío Bío Region and
had a depth of 22.9 kilometers.

Wikinews' Diego Grez reported that the earthquake was clearly felt in
Pichilemu, almost 300 kilometers to the north of the epicenter. ONEMI
reported no casualties. The area is being monitored by the organization.
It has been reported that some telephone lines have collapsed after the
earthquake. More than two months after the major 8.8 earthquake, people
still lives in tents or temporary huts.
