6.5 magnitude earthquake strikes southern Mexico, killing one

File photo

A strong 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck near the Pacific coast of southern Mexico on Friday, resulting in at least one death and triggering hundreds of aftershocks. The tremor was felt across a wide area, including the capital Mexico City, where it interrupted the president's news conference.

Details of the quake and confirmed fatality

The US Geological Survey reported the quake occurred in Guerrero state at a depth of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles) at 8:58 a.m. local time. Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda confirmed a 50-year-old woman died when her home collapsed due to the shaking. She urged calm and advised citizens to rely on official information sources.

Hundreds of aftershocks and widespread impact

State authorities reported more than 280 aftershocks following the initial tremor and warned that seismic activity would continue. The quake caused power outages in parts of Mexico City and prompted police helicopter patrols over the downtown area. The shaking was also felt in multiple regions including Xalapa, Orizaba, and Coatzacoalcos.

President's briefing interrupted as alarms sound

The earthquake forced an abrupt halt to President Claudia Sheinbaum's first news conference of the year as seismic alarms activated. Mexico, situated atop several tectonic plates, is highly prone to earthquakes, with the Pacific coast state of Guerrero being a particularly active seismic zone.
