An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 struck off the coast of eastern Cuba on Sunday, causing material damage in several regions. This event comes as the island continues to recover from widespread blackouts and the impact of two recent hurricanes.
The earthquake was reported about 39 km (24 miles) south of Bartolomé Masó before noon local time. Just an hour earlier, a 5.9 magnitude quake had rocked the area, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
