Just 7 minutes ago, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Tuxtepec, San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, Estado de Oaxaca, Mexico. The tremor was recorded in the morning on Saturday, August 2nd, 2025, at 11:58 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.3. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.8.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Playa Vicente (pop. 9,100) located 36 km from the epicenter, Tuxtepec (pop. 101,800) 64 km away, Loma Bonita (pop. 31,500) 64 km away, Isla (pop. 26,300) 71 km away, Oaxaca (pop. 255,000) 97 km away, Oaxaca (pop. 255,000) 97 km away, Santa Maria Atzompa (pop. 21,800) 100 km away, and Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan (pop. 67,100) 100 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
