The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 45. km beneath the epicenter near Ovalle, Provincia de Limarí, Region de Coquimbo, Chile, in the morning on Saturday, June 13th, 2026, at 8:04 am local time. 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. Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.3 as well. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. In Ovalle (pop. 77,100) located 11 km from the epicenter, Punitaqui (pop. 10,400) 16 km away, and Monte Patria (pop. 13,900) 27 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking. Weak shaking might have been felt in Combarbala (pop. 13,600) located 59 km from the epicenter, Coquimbo (pop. 161,300) 83 km away, La Serena (pop. 154,500) 87 km away, La Serena (pop. 154,500) 87 km away, and Vicuna (pop. 27,800) 89 km away.
