Quake shakes southern Mexico, no casualties

A strong earthquake of magnitude 6,4 shook south-western Mexico on Tuesday, the latest in a series of temblors in recent days, but there were no reports of casualties or serious damage. The quake briefly cut off power in the Chiapas state capital, Tuxtla Gutierrez, but officials said checks of dozens of small towns across the state found no damage.
