Eastern Cuba was struck by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake on Sunday, adding to the island’s recent string of hardships. The quake, with its epicenter south of Bartolomé Masó, was felt across the eastern region, including Santiago de Cuba, though there have been no immediate reports of damage or injuries. This latest event follows weeks of devastating hurricanes, widespread blackouts, and ongoing economic struggles that have left many Cubans in a state of distress. The earthquake’s impact, however, adds another layer of concern for the island nation already facing significant challenges.
