A serving member of the British Army was on Friday charged with a terror offence, the Metropolitan Police force said in a statement.

Daniel Abed Khalif, from central England "and a serving member of the British Army", was charged with one terror offence, said the force.

Khalif is accused of "attempting to elicit information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism" in August 2021, AFP reported.

He was also charged with "placing an article with the intention of inducing in another a belief that the said article was likely to explode," police said.

That charge relates to an incident on January 2.

Khalif remains in custody and will appear at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Drake Passage between Cape Horn and Antarctica at a depth of just 10 km (6 miles) on Friday, the United States Geological Survey said.

Chile's SENAPRED disaster agency said a coastal area of Magallanes region in the southern tip of the country should be evacuated due to the risk of a tsunami.

"We're calling to evacuate the coast in the whole region of Magallanes," President Gabriel Boric said on X, adding that all the states resources would be made available to deal with any impact.

Videos on social media showed people calmly evacuating as sirens blared in the background. Chile's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOA) estimated that waves will reach bases in Antarctica and cities in Chile's extreme south in the coming hours.

Chile's Antarctic institute (INAHC) told Reuters that bases were being evacuated.

SENAPRED said it was establishing a state of precaution, an alert associated with minor tsunamis. NOAA said that waves from 0.3 to 1 meter were expected in Antarctica and waves measuring 1 meter to 3 meters were expected in Chile.
