A powerful earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale struck southern Mexico on Thursday, according to the country’s National Seismological Service. The quake triggered a tsunami alert for coastal areas. Details on casualties and damage were still emerging, but the magnitude of the event immediately raised alarm across the region, recalling previous devastating temblors in Mexico’s seismically active south.
