SeismicAI Detects Magnitude 6.2 Earthquake Near the Coast of Coquimbo, Chile

SeismicAI pilot system detected and issued an alert on a magnitude 6.2 earthquake near the Coast of Coquimbo, Chile, which took place on 6.9.23, at 02:23:08 (UTC) – 22:23 local time.

The coast of Coquimbo, Chile, is situated along one of the most seismically active regions in the world. This dynamic geological setting has given rise to a history of significant seismic events, including the devastating 2015 Illapel earthquake, registering a magnitude of 8.3, which unleashed its force upon the coastal communities. The quake and subsequent tsunami wrought widespread damage, underscoring the region’s susceptibility to the powerful forces of nature.
