Magnitude 2.2 Tremor Recorded in Xochimilco, Felt in Parts of Mexico City

Officials explain the seismic alert did not sound because the epicenter was inside the city.

Overview

  • C5 CDMX said the tremor was perceptible in some areas of the capital and urged residents to follow official channels for updates.
  • Authorities coordinated monitoring with the SGIRPC and, as of the latest reports, have no reports of injuries or material damage.
