An earthquake shook buildings in Mexico City but authorities said there were no initial reports of damages.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the 5.4 magnitude quake struck on the border of the southern states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, about 160 km southeast of the beach resort of Acapulco, at a depth of 21.6 km.

Mexican officials said there were no initial reports of damage or injuries.

In parts of Mexico City, people ran out into the streets when they felt the shaking. Mexico’s national semiological service originally registered the tremor at 5.7 magnitude.
