International Magnitude-8.1 earthquake strikes off southern Mexico
A major earthquake off the southern coast of Mexico has killed at least 32 people, according to authorities, with the president saying it was the biggest hit the country in a century.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported the magnitude of the earthquake late on Thursday as 8.1, but President Enrique Pena Nieto said on Friday it was 8.2, making it the largest in Mexico in 100 years.
He also said it was bigger than the one in 1985 when thousands were killed in four Mexican states.
