Cuba Hit by 6.8 Quake Amidst Hurricanes and Power Outages

A 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Cuba, adding to the island's recent struggles with hurricanes and widespread blackouts. The quake's epicenter was near Bartolomé Masó, and it was felt in major cities like Santiago de Cuba, though no immediate damage or injuries were reported.
