A 6.5-magnitude earthquake shook Mexico’s capital and a tourist hotspot on the Pacific coast on Friday, killing at least two people and causing moderate damage in a small town near the epicenter, Reuters reported.

It was felt about 400 kilometers to the north in Mexico City, where alarms sent people scrambling to disrupt a holiday weekend.
