A moderately strong earthquake has struck off Mexico’s Pacific coast, but there are no reports of damage or injuries.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6 and was centered in the Gulf of California off the coast of Sinaloa state, 50 miles (65 kilometers) southwest of the coastal town of Los Mochis.
Friday’s pre-dawn quake had a depth of six miles (10 kilometers) below sea level. The Gulf of California separates mainland Mexico from the Baja California peninsula.
Meanwhile, a 5.2-magnitude quake hit southeast Colombia in the Valle de Cauca region Friday, without reports of damages or victims.
