On Tuesday, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake hit off the coast of Mexico’s Jalisco state, as confirmed by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). The quake struck at a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles), making it a notable tremor in the region.
While the exact impact on nearby areas is still being assessed, the earthquake’s depth suggests it may have been felt in coastal regions. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to assess potential damage or aftershocks.
This latest tremor adds to the series of seismic activities observed along Mexico’s Pacific coast, a region known for its geological activity due to tectonic plate interactions.
