    Mexico earthquake kills two and causing damage to over 200 buildings
    A strong earthquake in Mexico killed two people and also destroyed over 200 buildings and injured ten people.

    Digital Desk: The head of Mexico's civil protection agency Laura Velazquez stated that a significant earthquake that struck Mexico on Monday left two people dead and caused more than 200 buildings to sustain damage and resulted in 10 injuries.

    The majority of the damage from the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that rocked western Mexico was focused in the states of Colima and Michoacan.


    On the anniversaries of two terrible earthquakes that occurred in 1985 and 2017, the quake struck western Mexico.

    The earthquake was 15 km deep and took place close to the state of Colima's western border with Michoacan, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).

    The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a Tsunami warning for portions of Mexico's coast following the earthquake as waves surged to 3 to 9 feet in height.
