“A red alert has been issued for the coastal border regions of Coquimbo, Los Rios and Los Lagos due to the tsunami,” the agency’s Twitter account said.
The comment thread notes that the announced precautionary regime is a preventive security measure due to the upcoming small tsunami.
Earlier, a tsunami threat was announced in the Kuril Islands and in Japan after the eruption of the underwater volcano Hunga-Haapai off the Tonga Islands.
The king of the Polynesian state of Tonga, Aho-Eitu Tupou VI, was evacuated from his palace due to a volcanic eruption and tsunami.
