| Mexico: Strong quake strikes, collapsing buildings | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A strong earthquake has struck Mexico, toppling buildings in the capital Mexico City, sparking panic and sending thousands of people into the streets. | |
| Mexico City's airport has suspended operations after the 7.1 magnitude quake, and buildings across the city have been evacuated. | |
| There were reports of people trapped in collapsed buildings, but there was no immediate information of casualties. | |
| Earlier this month, a strong 8.1 magnitude tremor left at least 90 dead. | |
| The quake hit the central state of Puebla, next to the capital, at a shallow depth of 32 miles (51 km), the US Geological Survey said. Damage was also reported in other cities. | |
| Fires have also been reported and cities around Mexico City were also affected. | |
| The tremor happened as an earthquake drill was being held in Mexico City, on the 32nd anniversary of a quake that killed up to 10,000 people. | |
