7.3 Earthquake Shakes Mexico-Guatemala Border | Miami News

A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake rattled the Mexico-Guatemala border, sending tremors as far north as Mexico City and south into El Salvador—with no major damage or fatalities reported, though two people were injured in southern Mexico. The quake’s shallow depth and proximity to populated areas triggered aftershocks up to magnitude 6, prompting orderly evacuations in Tapachula and chaotic street scenes in Guatemala City. While Mexico’s alert system didn’t activate, officials warned of potential tsunamis up to 1 meter high along coasts, urging beachgoers to stay away. Schools were shut down near the epicenter, and landslides were reported on western Guatemalan roads. Authorities remain vigilant as this region, prone to seismic activity, continues to monitor for any lingering threats.
