Acapulco: An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0 on the Richter scale struck near the Mexican resort town of Acapulco on the Pacific coast on Saturday afternoon, according to the country’s national seismological service. The tremors created panic among the residents of the Mexican city. In Mexico City, the tremors forced residents to evacuate buildings and houses; however, Mayor Marti Batres reported on social media X that no damages were incurred.

“Apparently magnitude 5.2 at the epicenter. That’s why the seismic alert sounded. It was practically not noticed in Mexico City. No damage reported,” Mayor Batres’ loosely translated post from Spanish read.

This follows two minor tremors that hit Mexico city on Wednesday. Earlier this week, Reuters reported residents of Mexico City waking up to light tremors. No immediate damages were reported, and the tremors did not activate alarms.
