Earthquake Strikes Chile During Live Presidential Interview; No Casualties Reported
A powerful earthquake struck near Diego de Almagro, Chile, on June 7, 2025, interrupting a live television interview with presidential candidate Carolina Toha. The 6.4-magnitude quake caused significant shaking, as seen in the video footage. The video shows the immediate reaction of those present, with visible alarm and concern. However, in a subsequent video released by Carolina Toha, she reported that despite the intensity of the earthquake, there were no immediate reports of casualties. "Acaba de haber aquí en la región de Atacama un fuerte sismo que nos pilló justo aquí en medio de una gira," Toha stated, confirming the event and its impact on her live broadcast. The incident serves as a reminder of the seismic activity in the region and the importance of preparedness. The lack of reported casualties offers a positive counterpoint to the initial shock of the earthquake.
