The tremor was recorded southeast of La Placita de Morelos, in the state of Michoacán, west of Mexico City, according to the United States Geological Survey.
Mexico City Mayor Claudia Shienbaum said no initial damage was reported.
Buildings in the center of the capital were evacuated. The tremor occurred just an hour after the city held its annual earthquake drill to commemorate strong earthquakes in 1985 and 2017.
