6.8 magnitude earthquake jolts Cuba
A 6.8 magnitude earthquake shook eastern Cuba on Sunday, after weeks of hurricanes and blackouts that have left many on the island reeling, Azernews reports, citing CBC News.
The epicenter of the quake was located approximately 25 miles south of Bartolomé Masó, Cuba, according to a report by the United States Geological Survey.
The rumbling was felt across the eastern stretch of Cuba, including in bigger cities like Santiago de Cuba. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Residents in Santiago, Cuba's second-largest city, were left shaken on Sunday.
Yolanda Tabío, 76, said people in the city flocked to the streets and were still nervously sitting in their doorways. She said she felt at least two aftershocks following the quake, but that among friends and family she hadn't heard of any damages.
