The earthquake struck on the anniversary of a 1985 quake, which killed thousands of people and devastated large parts of Mexico City -- a tragedy that President Enrique Pena Nieto had commemorated earlier in the day.
The federal government declared a state of disaster in Mexico City and dispatched 3,428 troops to the affected areas there and in nearby states. - BERNAMA
