Magnitude 7.3 Earthquake Strikes Off Mexico Coast; Two Injured

A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the Pacific coast of Mexico near the border with Guatemala late last night. The epicenter was located several kilometers offshore, and the tremors were felt as far away as Mexico City and El Salvador. Despite the strength of the quake, damage was minimal, with only two injuries reported. One woman sustained fractures after jumping from a window in panic. Some landslides and minor structural damage were noted, but no major incidents occurred. The earthquake was described by witnesses as unusually long, intensifying after a calm start.

Global Impact

The earthquake's impact is largely contained to local emergency response and minor infrastructure checks. Economically, the lack of major damage means no material effect on Mexican GDP, insurance markets, or supply chains.
