The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 5.2 quake in Chile near Vallenar, Provincia de Huasco, Region de Atacama, only 4 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Saturday, November 15th, 2025, at 3:13 am local time at a moderately shallow depth of 30. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.3 earthquake. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.3.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Vallenar (pop. 44,900) located 46 km from the epicenter.
