5.7 magnitude quake jolts Mexico, no casualties

Mexico City: A moderate earthquake in the western Mexican state of Michoacan swayed buildings in Mexico City on Tuesday. Mexico City's mayor says there no reports of damage in the capital.

The US Geological Survey says the 5.7 earthquake was centred 137 kilometres from Michoacan's capital, Morelia. An earlier 5.0 quake struck 184 kilometres off the coast of Cabo San Lucas in the state of Baja California Sur. Neither state reported serious damage or injuries.

Many businesses were closed for a holiday in Mexico City, which has been rocked by a series of strong earthquakes and aftershocks in recent days, and offices and streets were largely empty.
