Mexico has trembled again on September 19.

A 7.4-magnitude earthquake has shaken the state of Michoacán with aftershocks in the center of the country, just under an hour after the drill organized to commemorate the terrible earthquakes of September 19, 1985 and the same date in 2017. Head of Government of the Mexican capital, Claudia Sheinbaum, has reported that so far no damage has been reported in the capital.

However, civil protection services are still monitoring the streets and avenues of central Mexico.

The authorities await reports from the rest of the country, while they have launched tsunami alerts for the states of Michoacan and Colima.

“We are going to start collecting information,” the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, stated in a preliminary report.
