CAUQUENES, Chile — A magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck central Chile on Friday, centered in almost exactly the same spot where last year’s magnitude-8.8 quake spawned a tsunami and devastated coastal communities.
Electricity and phone service were disrupted and thousands of people fled to higher ground after Friday’s quake. The government quickly announced that there was no risk of a tsunami, and there were no reports of damage or injuries.
In the following hours, a dozen aftershocks ranging from magnitude 3.9 to magnitude 6.3 shook the seismically active area.
