A tsunami warning has been triggered in Mexico after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of the North American continent.
The quake was recorded off the cost of Chiapas in Mexico, as per the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
As per Sky News, the earthquake struck Puerto Madero, a major port and fishing down on the Pacific Ocean.
The quake, which was initially registered at 7.4 magnitude but revised down to 7.3, was at a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles), USGS said.
The warning is in place for the areas closer to the quake, with the USGS saying that "hazardous tsunami waves are possible for coasts within 300km of the epicentre.
This comes just two weeks after the last World Cup game was held in the country when England beat Mexico in the round of 16 in Mexico City.
With the Mexican capital being so far inland, there is no threat to the city.
