The temblors Saturday registered magnitudes of 6.1 and 4.5.
Earlier this month, a magnitude 8.1 earthquake was centered in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico’s southern coast, killing more than 90 people. The September 8 quake was the strongest the country had experienced in a century.

Search efforts could last for at least two more weeks.
