A powerful magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck southeast of Easter Island on October 29, 2026, at 12:49 am GMT-7, according to VolcanoDiscovery.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported the quake's epicenter was located in the Pacific Ocean near the remote island, causing minor damage and triggering small tsunamis, per Asiae.co.kr.
