WASHINGTON—A 5.7 magnitude earthquake rattled northern Chile, which has been rocked by a series of aftershocks over the last 10 days, the U.S. Geological Survey said Saturday.

The quake at 0502 GMT was centered 90 miles south of Calama, and was 58.3 miles deep, the USGS said. There were no initial reports of deaths or damage.

On Nov. 14, a 7.7 magnitude quake near Antofagasta collapsed homes and buildings, killing two people and injuring 115, and there have been a number of aftershocks since then.
