6.5 Magnitude Earthquake Jolts Mexico.
A powerful 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck southern and central Mexico on Friday, centered near San Marcos, Guerrero. The tremor interrupted President Claudia Sheinbaum’s first press conference of the year as seismic alarms sent residents into the streets, but no immediate deaths or major damage were reported. While the quake was felt strongly in Mexico City and triggered the government's new cellular alert system, officials are currently focused on monitoring the coast for aftershocks and completing safety inspections.
