La Paz, Rajab 16, 1439, Apr 2, 2018, SPA -- A very powerful magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck deep beneath Bolivia on Monday, but authorities did not immediately report any injuries or damage. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake was recorded in the late morning (1340 GMT) and was centered 125 kilometers southeast of Tarija. The epicenter was nearly 560 kilometers below the surface, reducing the earthquake’s effects. In a typical year, the Earth experiences fewer than 30 earthquakes more powerful that magnitude-6.8. --SPA 18:59 LOCAL TIME 15:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w657282
