Мексикийн Чиапас мужийн эрэг орчимд 7.4 магнитудын хүчтэй газар хөдлөлт болсны улмаас бүс нутагт цунамийн сэрэмжлүүлэг зарлалаа.
АНУ-ын Геологийн албаны (USGS) мэдээлснээр, газар хөдлөлт 2026 оны долдугаар сарын 17-нд Мексикийн Пуэрто Мадеро хотын ойролцоо, газрын гадаргаас 10 км-ийн гүнд болжээ. Газар хөдлөлтийн улмаас Мексик болон Гватемалын эрэг орчмоор 0.3-аас 1 метр хүртэл өндөр цунамийн давалгаа үүсэх эрсдэлтэй байгааг АНУ-ын Цунамийн сэрэмжлүүлгийн систем анхааруулсан байна.
Чиапас мужийн газар хөдлөлтийн чичирхийлэл хөрш Гватемал улсын нийслэл болон Сальвадор улсад хүчтэй мэдрэгджээ. Гватемалын нийслэлд оршин суугчид орон байраа орхин гарч, төрийн байгууллагууд аюулгүй байдлын протоколын дагуу нүүлгэн шилжүүлэлт хийсэн байна.
Одоогоор газар хөдлөлтийн улмаас хүний амь нас хохирсон эсвэл томоохон хэмжээний эвдрэл гэмтэл учирсан тухай албан ёсны мэдээлэл гараагүй байна. Оахака мужийн захирагч иргэдийг тайван байж, зөвхөн албан ёсны эх сурвалжийн мэдээллийг дагахыг уриалжээ.

‘We were upstairs when it started shaking’
In the town of Suchiate, located along the river that separates Mexico from Guatemala, coastal areas are being monitored for risk of a tsunami, according to Mayor Elmer Vázquez Gallardo.
In Tapachula, the main city on Mexico’s southern border, the tremor began mildly but gradually intensified.
“We were upstairs on the second floor when it started shaking; we thought it would pass, but then it got stronger, so we all went downstairs and evacuated in an orderly manner to the front courtyard,” Alejandra Mendoza, an administrative employee at a public hospital in the city, explained to The Associated Press.
