The Venezuelan government published an official note on Sunday in which it expressed its solidarity with the Cuban people, in the face of the registration of several earthquakes in the southeast of the country, two of them with magnitudes of 6.0 and 6.8.
In a statement, the Venezuelan authorities also made available to Cuba the necessary help and assistance, considering that the Island is currently recovering from the passage of Hurricane Rafael, which occurred last Thursday.
The tremor, which hit at approximately 10:50 AM local time, was felt across nearby areas, including the towns of Bartolome Maso and Yara.
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.
