New 6.2 quake centered in southern Mexico
A strong aftershock has rolled through Mexico City, swaying buildings and sending some people running into the street.
The quake was much weaker than the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that hit on Tuesday, killing at least 295 people and knocking down buildings across the capital.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the new earthquake to strike Mexico had a magnitude of 6.2 and was centered in the southern state of Oaxaca.
That's the region most shaken by a magnitude 8.1 quake earlier this month.
It's not immediately clear if the new quake caused damage or injury.
