A 7.7-magnitude earthquake off the southwestern coast of Mexico in Michoacan state on Monday has prompted tsunami warnings
caused at least one death, according to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The powerful earthquake's epicenter occurred in a sparsely populated region of Michoacan state, very near the coastline.
In nearby Colima, around 100km from epicenter, very strong shaking capable of "moderate" damage was reported, per USGS data.
In Mexico City, roughly 500 km away, "light to moderate" shaking was reported, which is capable of "very light" damage, especially to vulnerable structures.
There are no known casualties or damage yet recorded in Mexico City, according to the city's mayor, Claudia Sheinbaum
Local news channels reported that firefighters closed some buildings in Mexico City to the public due to concerns of collapse.
The news came on the fifth anniversary of the 2017 earthquake that killed 216 people in Mexico City.
