Quake hits northern Mexico

A magnitude 5,4 quake struck very close to the northern Mexican city of Mexicali in Baja California on Saturday morning, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said, but there was no immediate report of any casualties or damage. The USGS said the very shallow quake, only 7km deep, was centred 26km south-east of Mexicali.
