Massive 7.5-magnitude Earthquake Triggers Tsunami Alert — Chilean Coast On High Alert

A powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck off the southern coast of Argentina early this morning, triggering tsunami warnings for parts of southern Chile and Antarctica. The quake occurred about 200 kilometers south of Puerto Williams at a depth of 10 kilometers, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. At least four aftershocks followed, prompting emergency responses across the region.

Chilean officials warned that tsunami waves could reach up to nine feet in the Magallanes Region, while waves as high as three feet could hit coastal areas of Antarctica. Evacuations began in towns like Punta Arenas, where residents and their pets were urged to seek higher ground. President Gabriel Boric, a native of the region, assured citizens that all state resources had been mobilized.

The Magallanes Region, though sparsely populated, is particularly vulnerable due to its closeness to the earthquake’s epicenter. Chile, located along the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, has a long history of major quakes, including the record-breaking 1960 Valdivia earthquake. This latest event has reignited concerns about disaster preparedness in remote areas.

Authorities continue to monitor wave activity and aftershocks as they assess potential damage. While no injuries or fatalities have been reported, emergency services remain on high alert. Residents are being asked to follow official updates and stay clear of coastal zones until all tsunami threats are ruled out.
