A strong 6.2 magnitude
earthquake shook central Mexico on Saturday days after a powerful quake
that killed nearly 300 people, Mexican and US seismological monitors
said.
The quake struck at
12:53 GMT with an epicenter 19.3 kilometers (12 miles) southeast of the
city of Matias Romero, in the state of Oaxaca, the US Geological Survey
reported. Mexican quake monitors gave the same figure.
In Mexico City work
crews temporarily halted rescue operations, while the country’s Civil
Protection service said there were no reports that the new quake — an
apparent aftershock of Tuesday’s powerful 7.1 tremor — had affected the
capital.
