7.3 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Mexico-Guatemala Coast

A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of southern Mexico near the Guatemala border, shaking buildings as far away as El Salvador.

No immediate major damage or casualties were reported, but a brief tsunami warning was issued for the region.

Separately, a 5.0-magnitude earthquake hit southeastern Turkey on Saturday morning, though authorities reported no casualties or damage.

Turkey's disaster management agency said an on-site assessment was ongoing.
