An earthquake rocked central and western Mexico today and forced office workers and residents to evacuate buildings in Mexico City.
The tremor, measuring 5.9 magnitude, was centred in western Michoacan state. It was not immediately known whether there were any casualties or serious damage to buildings.
The US National Earthquake Information Center in Colorado gave a preliminary magnitude estimate of 5.9.
Thousands died in Mexico City in the 1985 earthquake.
