A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck western Mexico early on Thursday, a few days after a major temblor killed two people and battered hundreds of buildings in the country, but there were no immediate reports of serious damage.
The Mexico City government said the woman stumbled on the stairs of her home in the city's central Doctores neighborhood as quake alarms rang out and buildings began to shake.
The quake, which the U.S. Geological Survey first measured at magnitude 7.0, was weaker and deeper than Monday's temblor, striking at a depth of 20.7 km . The epicenter of Thursday's earthquake, which struck at around 1.16 a.m. local time , was logged in the state of Michoacan, not far from Monday's temblor.
