Magnitude 6.1 Earthquake Near Cuba and Magnitude 5.0 Tremor in Southern Iran Occur Hours ApartPreviousNext

Two earthquakes occurred within hours in different regions: a magnitude 6.1 offshore quake near Cuba on Monday and a magnitude 5.0 tremor in southern Iran's Hormozgan province early Tuesday. The Cuban quake, felt across parts of the Caribbean, Mexico, and the US, caused no immediate major damage or casualties. The Iranian quake also resulted in no immediate reports of harm. Authorities continue monitoring both areas for aftershocks, noting the events were unrelated.
