No casualties or damage.. An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 Richter strikes Mexico

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck an area in southwestern Mexico on Sunday, according to the US Geological Survey, without causing casualties or damage.
The epicenter of the earthquake was located eight kilometers from the town of Cualcoman de Vasquez Palares, which has a population of about 20,000 and is located about 600 kilometers west of the capital, Mexico.
Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, said on “X” that the national emergency services had informed her of “no new developments,” indicating that she was monitoring the situation at Qualcomman.

Frequent earthquakes

Mexico is located between five tectonic plates, making it one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, especially on the Pacific coast.
In 1985, an 8.1-magnitude earthquake destroyed a large portion of Mexico City, leaving thousands dead, and on September 19, 2017, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake killed 369 people, most of them in the capital.
On the same date in 2022, another earthquake occurred in central Mexico, just hours after millions of people participated in safety training simulating an earthquake.
