A powerful earthquake measuring 6.0 in magnitude struck southern Cuba on Sunday, shaking the region near Bartolome Maso in Granma province, according to Cuba’s National Center for Seismological Research.
The tremor, which hit at approximately 10:50 AM local time, was felt across nearby areas, including the towns of Bartolome Maso and Yara.
Although the earthquake was of moderate intensity, it did not trigger a tsunami alert, and no major damage has been reported as of yet.
The earthquake was felt strongly in the region, particularly within 30-40 km of the epicenter, where moderate shaking was reported.
Light tremors were experienced in cities further from the epicenter, including Santiago de Cuba, about 113 km away.
As of now, authorities are continuing to monitor the situation, and local residents have been urged to remain cautious as aftershocks may follow.
This earthquake adds to the region’s seismic activity, but no significant casualties or damages have been confirmed at this time.
