Magnitude 6.5-6.9 Earthquake Shakes Southern Mexico, Interrupts President's Press Conference

A 6.5 to 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck southern and central Mexico on Friday, with its epicenter near San Marcos in Guerrero state. The tremors briefly interrupted President Claudia Sheinbaum's press conference in Mexico City, prompting her and journalists to evacuate the room before resuming shortly after. While residents fled homes and buildings shook, initial reports indicated no serious injuries or widespread damage in Mexico City or Guerrero, though ceiling panels reportedly fell at a Mexico City hospital. The region, including Acapulco, is still recovering from a 2023 hurricane.
