A magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Tonala, Tonalá Municipality, Estado de Chiapas, Mexico, was reported only 11 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Thursday, May 1st, 2025, at 11:00 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.3.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Tres Picos (pop. 4,400) located 72 km from the epicenter, Paredon (pop. 6,100) 76 km away, Tonala (pop. 35,300) 82 km away, Pijijiapan (pop. 16,900) 86 km away, Arriaga (pop. 24,400) 96 km away, and Villaflores (pop. 37,200) 120 km away.
