UPDATE: 58 people have been confirmed dead after a massive earthquake struck southern Mexico Thursday night, the governor of Oaxaca said Friday.

The powerful 8.2 magnitude quake struck off Mexico’s far southern Pacific coast just before midnight Thursday, about 100 kilometers from the town of Tonala. It was the biggest quake the country has experienced in more than 100 years, Mexico’s president said.

Authorities say the death toll likely will continue to rise as more information becomes available.
