A preliminary magnitude 3.3 earthquake was detected on Tuesday morning in eastern Cuba, with residents in the cities of Guantánamo and Santiago de Cuba reporting the tremor.
The seismic event occurred at 9:21 a.m. at an estimated depth of 24 kilometers, as reported by Enrique Diego Arango Arias, a doctor in sciences and the head of the National Seismological Service of Cuba, which operates under the National Center for Seismological Research (CENAIS).
Arango noted that while reports of the tremor were received from both Guantánamo and Santiago, the initially shared parameters are subject to further verification.
The expert emphasized that this caution is necessary because, at the time of his report, data was only available from two seismological stations, meaning that the magnitude and other technical details might be revised.
There have been no immediate reports of structural damage or casualties linked to the earthquake.
