MEXICO CITY

A magnitude 5.8 earthquake shook central Mexico on Thursday.  

The tremor registered 16 miles south of Puebla -- a state in central Mexico.

Its effects were reported in Mexico City and the State of Mexico adjacent to Puebla.

Puebla Governor Sergio Salomon said there are no casualties or loss of life in any of the municipalities in Puebla.

In a video posted on X, Salomon is seen briefing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in a telephone call on the "white balance," – meaning no damage or deaths reported. 

Mexico City, which borders Pueblo, has a long record of effects and deaths from tremors.

The city is particularly sensitive to quakes because it is located in an area of high seismic activity, where several tectonic plates converge.

Mexico City's Secretary of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection, Myriam Vilma Urzúa Venegas, said no damage has been reported in the capital.

"We continue in contact with the authorities of the mayor's offices. The International Airport of the City reports no incidents," she said.
