strong earthquake hits Mexico

A strong earthquake of magnitude 7.4 hit southern Mexico on the anniversary of the devastating quake that killed thousands in Mexico City in 1985. The quake hit few hours after many people participated in the anniversary.

The quake was strong enough to shake many buildings, but no causalities have been reported yet. Few days before another powerful 8.1 quake killed nearly 100 people in Mexico. This is the second earthquake in a month time.



The 7.4 quake hit 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Atencingo in the central state of Puebla at a depth of 32 miles (51 km), the U.S. Geological Survey said.
