The U.S. Geological Survey said a magnitude 5.0 quake was recorded 48 kilometers northwest of Ancud, Chile, just after 4 p.m. local time (7:21 p.m. UTC) on Nov. 11, 2026, at a 34.9-kilometer depth. The reading was unchanged as of the agency's own check at 00:07 UTC on Nov. 12, 2026.

As of the same check, USGS said four people had submitted online felt reports for the quake (the only indication so far of how it was felt on the ground).
