6.2-magnitude quake shakes northwestern Argentina
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA strong 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit northwestern Argentina Sunday, the US Geological Survey says, but there are no immediate reports of damage.
The quake, at a depth of 62 miles (100 kilometers), struck shortly after 8 a.m. local time (1400 GMT) about 16 miles north of the city Chilecito in the South American nation’s La Rioja province.
The quake near the border with Chile follows a 6.4-magnitude earthquake of “great intensity” earlier this month in central Chile. That earthquake shook buildings in the capital Santiago, causing panic among residents, whose frantic phone calls clogged cellular networks and land lines, AFP correspondents said.
