Powerful earthquake shook the coast of Chile: magnitude reached 7.5

Today, a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 occurred off the coast of Chile. According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (ESMC), the underground element manifested itself at a critically shallow depth — just 10 kilometers from the surface, which significantly increases the potential danger of the event.

Due to the high intensity of the underground tremors, a tsunami alert has been declared for coastal areas. Authorities are urging residents to take precautionary measures. At the moment, no official information about casualties or large-scale destruction has been received, the situation continues to remain under the control of special services.
