Powerful earthquake strikes Mexico City

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake shaked southern Mexico at 9:27 local time (1427 GMT) Friday, Mexican National Seismologic Service announced.

The epicenter is located 31 km northwest of Tecpan in the southern state of Guerrero, some 300 kilometers south of the capital Mexico City.

The US Geological Survey gave a higher measurement of 7.5-magnitude.

There were no immediate reports of damage, said national civil protection chief Luis Felipe Puente.

Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said on Twitter that authorities were checking the sprawling capital for damage.

“For now we are only seeing evacuations,” Mancera said.
