Moderate 5.7 quake rattles Mexico: USGS


WASHINGTON -- A moderate 5.7-magnitude earthquake rattled Mexico on Friday, the latest in a series of temblors to hit the country in recent weeks, according to the US Geological Survey.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage in the wake of the quake which struck Mexico's southern state of Oaxaca, on the Pacific coast, some 200 kilometers (130 miles) southeast of the beach resort of Acapulco.

Two more powerful quakes struck within 10 minutes of each other on Thursday in the Gulf of California, further north, without causing casualties or major damage.
