Associated Press  

SANTIAGO, Chile — A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck northern Chile near its border with Argentina late Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported, shaking homes and causing power outages. Chilean President Gabriel Boric said his government was closely examining the area but “so far there are no reports of injuries or major damage.” The quake did not activate a tsunami alarm. Thursday’s quake rumbled across six provinces — Tarapacá, Antofagasta, Atacama, Coquimbo, Arica and Parinacota — Chile’s emergency service said. The Geoscience Network said that Thursday’s quake was the most intense to strike Chile since 2016, when a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the south of the country.
