7.3 Earthquake Shakes Southern Mexico | Global News

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake rattled the southern Pacific coast of Mexico near the Guatemalan border, sending tremors as far as Mexico City and El Salvador—with no major damage or fatalities reported so far, though two people were injured. The shallow quake, centered 30 miles offshore, triggered at least ten aftershocks, including a 6.0 tremor, prompting tsunami warnings for coastal zones. Residents in Guatemala City and Tapachula fled buildings in mass evacuations, while Mexico’s capital’s alert system failed to activate. Authorities suspended classes near the epicenter and monitor for potential 3-foot waves. Though less destructive than past quakes in this seismically active region, the event serves as a stark reminder of nature’s raw power.
