A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the Mexican state of Chiapas, prompting authorities to issue a tsunami warning for nearby coastal areas.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), making it a relatively shallow quake capable of producing strong ground shaking.

Tsunami authorities warned that dangerous waves are possible within 300 kilometers (186 miles) of the earthquake's epicenter, urging residents and visitors in affected coastal regions to remain alert and follow official safety instructions.

Officials are assessing the impact of the earthquake, while emergency services continue monitoring the situation for potential damage, casualties, and aftershocks. There were no immediate reports of widespread destruction or injuries.

The Pacific coast of southern Mexico is one of the world's most seismically active regions, lying along the boundary where the Cocos Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate, making the area prone to powerful earthquakes.
