MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A moderate earthquake hit Michoacan state in western Mexico on Monday but there were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties.
A magnitude 5.8 quake hit 55 miles south-southwest of the state capital Morelia, with its epicenter 49.8 miles
underground, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
"There is no damage for the moment," said civil protection official Hugo Magana in Morelia. "They are going around checking the cities."
Earlier on Monday, a 5.6-magnitude quake shook the southern Mexican state of Chiapas.
