THE US Geological Service said a 5.2-magnitude earthquake has rocked northern Chile.

Chilean officials said there are no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the quake that registered on Tuesday at 4.33am (4.33pm AEDT).

It was centred near the community of Mamina, in Tarapaca region, about 1700 kilometres north of the capital of Santiago.

A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck central Chile on March 25, the strongest and longest that many people said they had felt since a huge quake devastated that region two years ago.

Some people were injured by falling ceiling material in last month's temblor, but there were no reports of major damage or deaths due to quake-related accidents.
