Mexican officials were assessing damage Wednesday, a day after a strong earthquake left homes in ruins and rattled residents hundreds of miles away.

At least 11 people were injured in the 7.4-magnitude quake, which hit mid-day Tuesday in southern Mexico.

Its epicenter was about 15 miles (25 kilometers) east of Ometepec, Guerrero.
