🇨🇱🇦🇷 Chile | Powerful Magnitude 7.4 Earthquake Strikes Near Drake Passage 🌍

⛰On May 2, 2025, at 9:58 AM local time (GMT -3), a powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck the southern Atlantic Ocean, approximately 104 km (65 miles) off the coast of Chile, near the Drake Passage.

According to Volcano Discovery, the depth of the earthquake has not been clearly determined, but it is believed to have been shallow, which made the tremor more strongly felt near the epicenter compared to deeper quakes of similar magnitude. The quake was felt across a wide area.

🔹 Preliminary estimates from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) suggest that over 280,000 people across two countries—**Argentina (170,000) and **Chile (100,000)**—could have felt the shaking.

In the **mountainous regions of Chile, the seismic activity triggered landslides and rockfalls, leading to temporary disruptions in transportation. Emergency services are on the scene, assessing the situation and addressing the aftermath.

No casualties or significant damage have been reported at this time.
