WASHINGTON, March 5 |
WASHINGTON, March 5 (Reuters) - A strong 6.6 magnitude aftershock shook the area near Concepcion, Chile on Friday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
It was the latest in a series of aftershocks to strike the area, which is reeling from Saturday's powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake. The USGS reported the latest aftershock struck 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Concepcion at a depth of 18 miles (29 km).
The USGS initially reported the aftershock had a 6.8 magnitude. (Reporting by Will Dunham)
