On Friday, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.5 struck southern Mexico, near the Pacific coast, in the state of Guerrero, at a depth of 35 km. The quake caused panic among residents, including in Mexico City, where President Claudia Sheinbaum had to interrupt a press conference. Although a 60-year-old man died as a result of the incident, authorities reported that no serious damage had been recorded. A total of 151 aftershocks of low intensity were recorded, and Mexico's alert systems worked, giving the population a chance to take shelter. Mexico is located in an active tectonic zone, making it vulnerable to earthquakes, and its history includes devastating quakes, such as the one in 1985, which caused over 12,000 deaths.
