A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Mexico’s southern state of Chiapas on Friday, triggering a tsunami warning and shaking buildings in neighbouring Guatemala and El Salvador. No damage was immediately reported by authorities.

The quake struck near the Mexican town of Puerto Madero at a shallow depth of 10 km (6 miles), the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.

Following the tremor, the US Tsunami Warning System warned that hazardous tsunami waves were possible along coasts within 300 km (186 miles) of the epicentre.

In Guatemala City, the earthquake shook buildings and prompted some residents to rush out of their homes onto the streets, according to a Reuters witness. Local media showed footage of staff evacuating a government building as security protocols were activated.

The tremor was also felt in El Salvador, another Reuters witness said.

In Mexico’s southern state of Oaxaca, Governor Salomon Jara said on social media that the earthquake was felt with moderate intensity in the state capital, but no serious damage was immediately reported.
