Overview
- The National Seismological Service reported a magnitude 5.3 earthquake at 17:19 on November 2 and revised its location to 48 km southwest of Las Choapas, Veracruz, at a depth of 182 km after an initial placement near Matías Romero, Oaxaca.
- The National Civil Protection Coordination activated emergency protocols and initiated preliminary assessments with state and municipal units following the event.
- Civil Protection and fire authorities reported no injuries or significant damage as of the latest checks in the affected regions.
- Sasmex confirmed no public alert for Mexico City because the energy detected in the first seconds did not exceed activation criteria, which typically trigger closer to magnitude 6 events.
- The 5.3 quake followed a day of regional seismicity that included early‑morning tremors of magnitude 4.1 and 4.0 in Chiapas and four mid‑magnitude events recorded within an hour across Chiapas, Veracruz, and Oaxaca.
