On Monday, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck offshore near western Cuba, causing tremors that were felt in Florida. According to the US Geological Survey, the quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers in waters just west of Havana. Although the earthquake caused some fear among residents, no injuries or damage were reported immediately. Flavia Pupo, a manager at a hotel in Pinar del Rio, described the shaking, stating, "Everyone here is OK," while acknowledging that people on the street were understandably scared. The tremors reached as far as Florida, with the National Weather Service in Miami confirming multiple reports of shaking in the southwestern region of the state. This earthquake was linked to the Oriente fault zone, which has a history of producing damaging earthquakes, including a 7.7 magnitude quake in January 2020 that affected both Cuba and the Cayman Islands. Authorities continue to monitor the situation for any aftershocks or further developments.
