A 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Cuba on Sunday. Tremors were felt across the eastern region, including Santiago de Cuba, but no immediate injuries or damages were reported. This earthquake follows weeks of severe challenges for Cuba, including the recent impact of Hurricane Rafael, which caused island-wide power outages, destroyed homes, and forced large-scale evacuations. In October, Cuba faced prolonged blackouts due to an energy crisis, followed by a deadly hurricane that struck the eastern region.
