A powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.4 struck southern Mexico's Pacific coast on Tuesday, killing at least six people in isolated villages, while causing damage to buildings hundreds of miles away in Mexico City.

멕시코 남부 태평양 해안지역에서 화요일 규모 7.4의 강진이 발생해 고립된 마을에서 최소 6명이 사망하고, 수백 마일 떨어진 멕시코시티의 건물들도 피해를 보았다.


The fatalities were near the quake's center in Oaxaca, a mountainous state known for its coffee, mescal and Spanish colonial architecture.

커피, 메스칼주(멕시코식 술), 스페인 식민지 건축 양식으로 유명한 산악지대인 오악사카주의 진원지 부근에서 사망자가 발생했다.


Houses were scarred by wide cracks across walls and residents sought to clear debris from the streets. About 200 houses in the area were damaged, including 30 that were badly impacted, a local official said.

집들은 벽을 가로지르는 넓은 균열로 인해 상흔이 생겼고 주민들은 거리의 잔해를 치우기 위해 애썼다. 이 지역에서 주택 200여 채가 파손됐으며 30여 채가 큰 피해를 보았다고 현지 관계자는 밝혔다.


"We lost everything in one moment to nature," said Vicente Romero, an owner of a stationery store whose house suffered structural damage.

문구점 주인인 비센테 로메로 씨의 집도 구조적인 피해를 입었고 "한순간에 자연에 모든 것을 잃었다"고 말했다.


Rockfalls blocked winding mountain roads between the state capital of Oaxaca city and the coast. Rescue workers reported three people seriously injured in the remote hill village of Santa Catarina Xanaguia.

낙석이 오악사카 주의 주도인 오악사카 시와 해안 사이의 구불구불한 산길을 막았다. 구조대원들은 산타카타리나 자나과 외딴 언덕 마을에서 3명이 중상을 입었다고 전했다.
