A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck the waters off the coast of Baja California, Mexico, on Friday, according to a report by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
The quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) beneath the ocean floor, indicating a relatively shallow event capable of being felt along coastal regions. While the epicenter was located offshore, residents in nearby areas of Baja California and northern Mexico reportedly experienced mild to moderate shaking.
So far, there have been no reports of significant damage or injuries, and no tsunami alert has been issued. Authorities continue to monitor the area for potential aftershocks.
Mexico, located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is one of the world’s most seismically active regions, where several tectonic plates meet and frequently generate strong earthquakes.
