The earthquake's epicenter was located between San Juan Raboso and the city of Puebla, at a depth of approximately 51 kilometers, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The earthquake struck just hours after Mexicans across the country took to the streets to commemorate the victims of another powerful earthquake more than 30 years ago.

This is the second major earthquake in Mexico in less than a month. The earthquake on September 7th in the southern states claimed the lives of 98 people.

The consequences of this earthquake are enormous, both in terms of material damage and human lives, according to Reuters. Local media broadcast footage showing collapsed buildings, crushed vehicles, and panicked people rushing into the streets.

At least 27 buildings in Mexico City were destroyed or partially collapsed after the earthquake, Mexican President Enrique Pena said.

The head of Mexico City confirmed that at least four people have died. The state of Morelos, near Mexico City, has the highest death toll, with 42 fatalities as many buildings were destroyed. Reports indicate that many more people remain trapped under rubble in the city of Cuernavaca, Morelos state. Fatalities have also been reported in Puebla state.

More than 3.8 million people were left without power after the earthquake, according to CNN.

Mexico City International Airport was closed following the disaster. The Mexican government ordered the evacuation of hospitals affected by the earthquake.

Writing on Twitter, US President Donald Trump offered his condolences to the people of Mexico.
