A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck parts of southern Mexico, with tremors felt across central regions, including coastal and inland areas. The quake was centred near the Pacific coast, according to preliminary seismic data.
Residents in and around Acapulco reported strong shaking that caused buildings to sway and briefly disrupted daily activity. Authorities said there were no immediate reports of major damage or casualties, though assessments were ongoing.
Emergency services were placed on alert as officials conducted inspections of infrastructure, including roads, buildings, and utilities. Power and communications services were reported to be largely intact following the quake.
Seismologists warned that aftershocks were possible and advised residents to remain cautious. Mexico lies along a seismically active zone and regularly experiences earthquakes of varying strength.
