A powerful 6.2-magnitude earthquake has hit Mexico City, a Mexican monitoring body has said, and there are reports from witnesses of buildings shaking.
It wasn't immediately clear if the trembler, which was centred in the southern state of Oaxaca, had caused any damages or injury.
The earthquake comes just days after a 7.1 magnitude quake hit Mexico City, destroying buildings, and killing nearly 300 people. Response operations related to that event were still ongoing at the time of the new trembler.
The quake hit in a region of Mexico that was most shaken by an 8.1 magnitude earthquake that hit earlier this month as well. That earthquake struck off the coast of Mexico, and could be felt hundreds of miles away from its epicenter in Mexico City. That earthquake also left more than 60 people dead.
