A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck 16 km ESE of Calama, Chile at a depth of approximately 120 km on 25 May 2026. The deep focal depth significantly attenuates surface shaking, reducing expected surface damage compared to a shallow event of equivalent magnitude. No tsunami warning was issued and no loss estimates, infrastructure damage, or insured asset impacts are reported in the source.

Impact verdict

Low impact. No concrete London Market loss pathway is evidenced. The deep focal depth (~120 km) substantially limits surface shaking intensity. No loss estimates, named insured asset damage, infrastructure disruption, or claims indications are present in the source. While Calama sits in a major Chilean copper mining district with potential Energy exposure, no named facility damage or operational disruption is reported. Assign LOW pending any loss reports.
