SANTIAGO: A 6.1 magnitude quake rocked central Chile on Wednesday but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, authorities said.
The earthquake occurred at 2136 GMT, 35 kilometres (22 miles) west of Navidad, Chile, in the O'Higgins region south of Santiago, the University of Chile's Seismology Service reported.
The government's National Emergency Office issued a preliminary report saying there were "no reports of injuries to people, or alteration of basic services or infrastructure."
The Chilean navy's hydrographic and oceanographic service said there was no threat of a tsunami to the country's coast.
