Eastern Cuba has been struck by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake, compounding the devastation caused by recent hurricanes and widespread power outages.
The quake's epicenter was located near Bartolome Maso, and it was felt as far as Miami. This comes just days after Hurricane Rafael, a Category 3 storm, knocked out power across the island, leaving millions without electricity.
The full extent of the damage from the earthquake is still unclear, but the island is already struggling to recover from weeks of natural disasters.
