### Two Significant Earthquakes Reported Off Southern Coast of Cuba

Two substantial earthquakes were recorded off the southern coast of Cuba on Sunday, as confirmed by the United States Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.).

The larger of the two quakes, with a magnitude of 6.8, occurred at 11:49 a.m. local time. This significant tremor was centered about 24 miles south of Bartolomé Masó, Cuba. This seismic event was preceded by a 5.9-magnitude earthquake in the same vicinity, striking roughly an hour earlier.

At the U.S. Navy base located in Guantanamo Bay, personnel felt at least three tremors over the course of the afternoon. Fortunately, no injuries or damages have been reported from the site.

Seismologists are currently analyzing the data to confirm or potentially revise the reported magnitudes of these earthquakes. The U.S.G.S. also indicated that additional collected data could lead to updates in their shake-severity maps.

Aftershocks, which are generally smaller quakes that occur following a larger seismic event, are anticipated in the region. These typically represent minor adjustments along the fault line that initially slipped.

As of the latest updates, information from the U.S.G.S. includes shake data recorded up until 12:05 p.m. Eastern and aftershocks data up until 2:04 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, Nov. 10.
