A strong quake of 6.0 magnitude struck on February 27 about 23 miles south of Concepcion, Chile, at a depth of 10.4 miles, according to the US Geological Survey.
Chile's state emergency office Onemi said there were no reports of damages or injuries and no risk of a tsunami. However, a spokeswoman said there were partial power cuts in the area.
One year ago, also on February 27, the South American nation was hit with a massive, 8.8-magnitude quake and subsequent tsunami that killed 521 people, left thousands homeless and caused some US$30 billion in damage.
