A new earthquake in Mexico City with an intensity of 6,1 on the Richter scale. It has been produced as a replica of the 7,1 magnitude that occurred last Tuesday. The epicenter of the earthquake has been in the state of Oaxaca, in the south of the country. On this occasion, the balance has been three victims. An 80-year-old woman and a 52-year-old woman both suffered from a heart attack. The third fatality is a man from the municipality of Asunción Ixtaltepec, located on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
The nervousness caught the neighbors at dawn as the alarms were heard and they took to the streets. The recent earthquake that has so far resulted in more than 300 victims was present in everyone's memory. Since September 7, where the great 8,2 earthquake occurred, there have been 4.287 aftershocks. The vast majority are smaller, but several of magnitude 5,0 onwards. This was indicated by the head of the SSN, Xyoli Pérez Campos.
In turn, Pérez Campos has indicated that it is also unlikely that there is a relationship between the aftershocks. «Until now, the preliminary analyzes of the cases studied seem to indicate that there was no relationship even though they are working. But in principle, due to the distance of 600km between the epicenters and the fact that 12 days have passed since the first event, it is unlikely that there is a relationship, ”he added.
