Mexico’s National Seismological Service reported two earthquakes on October 11, 2026.
A magnitude 4.2 quake was recorded 128 kilometres southwest of Ciudad Hidalgo, Chiapas, at a depth of 10 kilometres.
A magnitude 4.0 quake was recorded 24 kilometres north of Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca, at a depth of 75.5 kilometres.
Mexico is highly seismic because five tectonic plates meet beneath its territory: the Caribbean, North American, Pacific, Rivera and Cocos plates.
Their ongoing interaction produces frequent seismic activity across the country.
The service was monitoring earthquake activity in real time and continuing to update its information.
