After the main tremor, several weaker aftershocks occurred in the same area. Authorities do not report any fatalities or serious damage, but civil defense services remain on alert as new tremors are possible.

This earthquake occurred shortly after a massive power outage in the country. Cuba is generally often subject to seismic activity, especially in the east, as a fault line passes there between the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates.
