Northern Chile has been rattled by powerful aftershocks a day after an earthquake struck the region, leaving 15,000 people homeless.
Thursday's two tremors were measured at 6.2 and 6.8 magnitude by the US Geological Survey.
They came as Chilean President Michelle Bachelet visited the disaster zone following Wednesday's quake, which killed two people and injured some 150.
The major 7.7 magnitude quake wrecked 4,000 homes and other infrastructure.
Tents have been set up to help residents who were forced to sleep outdoors under cold desert skies.
