Earthquake shakes southern Mexico, felt in capital: Reuters witness


A 6.0 magnitude earthquake shook Mexico's southern state of Oaxaca on Monday, Mexico's seismological institute said, shaking buildings as far away as Mexico City, but there were no immediate reports of any damage.

Luis Felipe Puente, head of emergency services, said via Twitter that authorities were monitoring states where the tremor was felt. Some offices were evacuated in Mexico City.
