6.2-magnitude quake shakes Argentina

A strong 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit north-western Argentina Sunday, the US Geological Survey said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The quake, at a depth of 62 miles (100 kilometers), struck shortly after 1400 GMT about 16 miles north of the city Chilecito in the South American nation's La Rioja province. Villagers reported that the movement was felt in the neighbouring provinces of Catamarca, Tucuman and Cordoba.
The country's seismic authority also reported three smaller earthquakes Sunday.
