A 5.8 magnitude earthquake with its epicenter in Puebla, a state in central Mexico, activated the seismic alert in Mexico City this Thursday and shook different areas of the country.

The National Seismological Service (SSN) has located the epicenter 25 kilometers south of Chiautla de Tapia, in the central state of Puebla.

“The seismic alert sounded. The epicenter is close to Mexico City. In a moment we continue reporting,” Martí Batres, head of Government of the Mexican capital, has published on his social networks.

“Is everyone okay? Right now I am communicating with @PC_Estatal (State Civil Protection) to have a detailed report of the earthquake,” the governor of Puebla, Sergio Salomón Céspedes, wrote on his X account.

Other states that perceived the movement were Morelos, Puebla and the State of Mexico, in the center of the country.
