A strong 6.7-magnitude earthquake jolted northern Chile Wednesday, US monitors said, but no immediate tsunami warning was issued.

The earthquake occurred at 2015 GMT, at the relatively shallow depth of 47.5 kilometers (29.5 miles) and the epicenter was located 102 kilometers (63 miles) from the mining town of Copiapo, the US Geological Service said in a report.
