An earthquake<\/a> that occurred in the early hours of this Thursday was registered by the National Center for Seismological Investigations of Cuba (CENAIS), the island\u2019s media reported.<\/p>\n

The earthquake had a magnitude 6.0 on the Richter scale and took place at 4:04 am (local time) this April 16, according to a report<\/a> by the Granma<\/em> daily.<\/p>\n

The quake did not occur in Cuban territory, but was related to the Motagua fault, in northern Honduras. It had a depth of 25 km and was located 507 km southwest of Sandino, in the province of Pinar del R\u00edo.<\/p>\n

Perceptibility reports have been received in the Pinar del R\u00edo, Vi\u00f1ales, and San Juan y Mart\u00ednez municipalities, according<\/a> to the Agencia Cubana de Noticias<\/em> news agency.<\/p>\n

However, Enrique Arango, head of the National Seismological Service of CENAIS, explained to Granma<\/em> that the center\u2019s specialists \u201cestablished communication with the Civil Defense to specify the places where perceptibility is reported.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, the daily affirms that Havana citizens reported having felt an earthquake this morning, which in the opinion of the specialist is possible in tall buildings in the Cuban capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince it was distant, the earthquake produces a long-term, low-frequency wave that resonates with buildings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On January 28, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake shook several countries in the Caribbean, including Cuba, where it was noticeable in almost the entire country, according to press reports and users of social networks.<\/p>\n

The earthquake was located 123 kilometers west-southwest of Cabo Cruz, in the province of Granma, and as a consequence, numerous aftershocks and damage were reported in some buildings in the eastern area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
