An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred only 25 minutes ago 93 km southwest of Tonala, Mexico, Mexico's National Seismological Service (SSN) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 37 km beneath the epicenter near Tonala, Tonalá, Chiapas, Mexico, in the morning on Monday 14 December 2020 at 11:23 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
