A strong earthquake struck southern Mexico near the Mexico–Guatemala border, with reported magnitudes ranging from 7.3 to 7.4 across outlets. Several reports place the epicentre off the southern Pacific coast near Mexico’s state of Chiapas, with one account citing a location about 30 miles southwest of Aquiles Serdan, Mexico. The quake is felt in Mexico and parts of Central America, including Guatemala and El Salvador, and residents in Mexican states such as Chiapas and Oaxaca report intense or prolonged shaking. In response to the shaking and potential tsunami risk, a tsunami alert is issued by the U.S. Tsunami Warning System, according to multiple sources. Some reports also describe evacuations or residents leaving buildings in Guatemala, and mention that people felt tremors in Guatemala and El Salvador. Across the coverage, there are no immediate, confirmed reports of deaths or major damage, though authorities are still assessing impacts. The earthquake occurs on Friday, and initial information remains based on early official statements and eyewitness accounts.
