The National Seismological (SSN) announced that there was an earthquake of magnitude 5.8 in Oaxaca, which was perceived in Mexico City and Chiapas. (update, the magnitude has been downgraded to a 5.5 since the preliminary reports.)
The earthquake was registered 44km northeast of Crucecita, Oaxaca at 4:43 pm local time.
Authorities from Mexico City asked citizens to remain calm and be alert for possible aftershocks; they said that the activation of the alerts in the city was not warranted because the tremor felt in CDMX was light and not widespread.
