A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Mexico, shaking buildings and sending residents fleeing to the streets in panic. The quake hit at a depth of 32 kilometers, with its epicenter located in the Pacific Ocean, near the state of Oaxaca.
Authorities have reported several aftershocks following the initial quake, raising concerns about further damage and potential tsunamis.
