A 7.1 magnitude earthquake has hit Mexico, killing more than 90 people and bringing down dozens of buildings in Mexico City.

Fires broke out in the capital, one of the world's biggest cities, after the earthquake struck this morning, and the mayor said some people were trapped inside burning buildings.

It is the second powerful earthquake in the country in two weeks, after an 8.1 quake hit the south of the country earlier this month, killing at least 90 people.

President Enrique Peña Nieto said 27 buildings had collapsed or partially collapsed in Mexico City after the latest earthquake.
