According to the <strong data-start=\"208\" data-end=\"234\">U.S. Geological Survey<\/strong>, the quake\u2019s epicenter was located about <strong data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"319\">200 kilometers south of Puerto Williams<\/strong> at a depth of 10 kilometers. At least four aftershocks followed soon after, shaking nearby regions and heightening fears of potential damage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"912\">Officials warned that <strong data-start=\"487\" data-end=\"520\">tsunami waves up to nine feet<\/strong> could impact <strong data-start=\"534\" data-end=\"563\">Chile\u2019s Magallanes Region<\/strong>, while parts of <strong data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"594\">Antarctica<\/strong> might see waves reaching three feet. Emergency sirens echoed through coastal towns as evacuations began in <strong data-start=\"702\" data-end=\"718\">Punta Arenas<\/strong> and surrounding communities. Videos circulating on social media showed residents fleeing to higher ground, carrying essentials, pets, and livestock as authorities urged preparedness and calm.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"1350\"><strong data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"949\">Chilean President Gabriel Boric<\/strong>, who hails from the affected region, addressed the nation urging unity and caution. \u201cAll state resources are available,\u201d he said, reaffirming that protecting lives remains the government\u2019s top priority. Temporary shelters were quickly set up, power outages reported, and teams dispatched to assess structural damage across the <strong data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1298\">Magallanes Region<\/strong>, one of Chile\u2019s most remote yet vulnerable areas.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1852\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Experts reminded the public that Chile sits on the <strong data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1427\">Pacific Ring of Fire<\/strong>, one of the planet\u2019s most <strong data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1482\">seismically active zones<\/strong>, where tectonic shifts frequently trigger major quakes. The 1960 <strong data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1571\">Valdivia earthquake<\/strong>, the strongest ever recorded globally at 9.5 magnitude, still serves as a stark reminder of the region\u2019s volatility.
