A strong earthquake hit western Mexico on Monday evening, causing buildings to shake in the capital, Mexico, amid warnings of tsunami waves off the western coasts, while no injuries were reported.
The National Seismological Agency put the quake's intensity at 7.4 on the Richter scale, while the US Geological Survey said it was 7.6.
The epicenter was located 59 km (37 miles) south of Qualcomman in Michoacan state on the Pacific coast, and at a depth of about 15 km.
The Tsunami Warning Center announced that it monitored tsunami waves after the earthquake off the western coast of the country.
"We sincerely hope that nothing serious has happened," President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wrote on Twitter.
The mayor of the Mexican capital, Claudia Sheinbaum, wrote on Twitter, "So far, we have not been informed of any damage."
The earthquake coincided with the memory of two severe earthquakes that occurred in 1985 and 2017, as residents of the capital were training to face earthquakes only half an hour before the tremor occurred.
The authorities organize earthquake training every year on the anniversary of the two major earthquakes. On this day in 2017, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake killed 369 people, and on the same date in 1985, an 8.1-magnitude earthquake destroyed the center of the capital, leaving more than 10,000 people dead. .
