A magnitude 6.5 earthquake shook a wide area of southern and central Mexico yesterday, sending people fleeing to the streets, but causing only minor reported damage.
The epicenter was located near Las Choapas, a town of 83,000 people 600 kilometers southeast of Mexico City. It swayed buildings for several seconds in the capital, and in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, people ran from their homes.
Near the epicenter, cracks in walls forced the evacuation of one elementary school. Governor Javier Duarte de Ochoa said earlier that he had no reports of damage in the oil-producing state.
The US Geological Survey said the quake hit at a depth of 167 kilometers.
