The Central Chilean coast was hit by an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 on Thursday, according to the National Center for Seismology (NCS). The earthquake occurred at 11:03pm (IST) at a depth of 10 kilometers.
The NCS tweeted the following: “Earthquake of Magnitude:6.2, Occurred on 30-03-2023, 23:03:12 IST, Lat: -35.66 & Long: -73.05, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Off Coast of Central, Chile”.
