Iran PressAmerica: A magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook central Los Lagos, Chile on Sunday, but Chilean officials denied the threat of a tsunami.

No damage or casualties were reported so far.

The quake struck at a depth of 10 km and about 163 km northwest of the Valdivia region off the Pacific Ocean coast.

An earthquake shook the border between Chile and Argentina last month.

Chile has seen devastating earthquakes over the past century, including a magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the south coast in 2010 that triggered high waves that devastated a coastal town. 219
