GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala — A 6.5-magnitude earthquake shook Mexico and Guatemala on Friday, leaving three people injured and causing infrastructure damage, authorities said. The quake struck near the Mexico-Guatemala border, 37 kilometers (23 miles) southwest of Ciudad Hidalgo, in the Mexican state of Chiapas, said Mexico’s National Seismological Service. ADVERTISEMENTIt caused rockslides that blocked three highways in Guatemala, and left at least three people with minor injuries, authorities there said. The quake was felt as far away as El Salvador and Mexico City. The seismically volatile country’s deadliest earthquake on record killed thousands of people in 1985.
