SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - A strong earthquake rocked a part of southern Chile Saturday that has been hit by hundreds of tremors in the last three months that may be related to the birth of an undersea volcano.
The government's Emergency Bureau said preliminary reports indicate there were no victims or major damage in the sparsely populated area located in the Aysen Fjord, about 1,700 miles south of Santiago.
The quake struck at 1:53 p.m. with a magnitude of 6.2, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
