A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck southern Guatemala on Friday night, with conflicting reports on casualties and damage. The US Geological Survey recorded the quake at 11:52 pm, seven kilometers from the town of Taxisco at a depth of 108 kilometers. However, the Guatemalan Seismology Institute measured the tremor as 6.0. The earthquake was felt in the south of the country and even in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Antigua Guatemala, located 45 kilometers southwest of the capital city. Civil protection spokesman Rodolfo Garcia stated that there have been no reported casualties or damage so far. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation at a national level. Guatemala is at high risk for earthquakes due to its location at the point where the Caribbean and Cocos tectonic plates meet. Approximately 90 percent of the country's territory is prone to earthquakes. It remains unclear whether the earthquake caused significant damage or injuries. Further reports are expected to provide a clearer picture of the aftermath of the quake.
