AMAGNITUDE-6.8 earthquake shook eastern Cuba on Sunday, after the socialist island had already suffered weeks of hurricanes and power cuts.

The epicentre of the quake was about 25 miles south of Bartolome Maso, according to a report by the US Geological Survey.

The impact was felt across the east of the island, including in bigger cities such as Santiago de Cuba, as well as Holguin and Guantanamo.

On Wednesday, Hurricane Rafael, a Category 3 storm, ripped through western Cuba, with strong winds knocking out power across the island and destroying hundreds of homes.

In October, the island was hit by blackouts lasting for days, a product of Cuba’s energy crisis largely caused by the six-decade-old illegal US blockade, which prevents the import of vital parts for even minor repairs.

Shortly afterwards, a powerful hurricane struck the eastern part of the island, killing at least six people.
