I wonder how many minor aftershocks there have been. There have been 102 aftershocks greater than 4.5. (The map has the count.) All but 3 are located in this view:

One a little further east just off the map. The USGS no longer tracks earthquakes with a magnitude under that unless they occur in the US or cause damage.

I count the two well away from the quake:

As aftershocks, but they might not be connected. That one, a 6.3 in Argentina, was also deadly. They are rather far apart from the main quake and its surrounding aftershocks.
