Santiago: A 4.5-magnitude earthquake struck Chile on Monday.

According to Qatar News Agency, the US Geological Survey stated that the epicenter was located 47 kilometers west of the Colchan area, at a depth of 112.1 kilometers.

There have been no reports of damage or casualties. Chile is highly prone to earthquakes due to its location along the Ring of Fire. In 2010, a devastating 8.8-magnitude earthquake, followed by a tsunami, struck central and southern Chile, killing around 500 people.
