Baku. Rashad Suleymanov – APA. A magnitude-7.2 earthquake struck central Chile at 7.37pm local time. The quake is prompting authorities to urge evacuations for a long stretch of the coast as a precaution against a tsunami.

The quake struck 32 kilometres north-northwest of Talca, where residents said it lasted about a minute and was the strongest they had felt since the city was rocked hard by the huge quake that devastated central Chile two years ago.

The U.S. Geological Survey initially said the quake had occurred offshore. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage.
