A strong 6.6 magnitude aftershock shook the area near Concepcion, Chile on Friday, the US 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.
