More than 20 earthquakes<\/a>, some of them perceptible, and a tornado that caused material damage, were reported this Sunday in eastern Cuba.<\/p>\n

According to the National Center for Seismological Research (CENAIS), until 7:30 pm (local time), 21 telluric movements had been registered in the eastern part of the island, \u201csome of them perceptible by the population,\u201d in what is classified as \u201canomalous seismic activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The earthquakes were felt in the municipalities of Guam\u00e1, Palma Soriano, Tercer Frente, Contramaestre and Santiago de Cuba, in the province of Santiago de Cuba, in the municipalities of Media Luna, Bayamo and Bartolom\u00e9 Mas\u00f3, in the province of Granma, and in the city of Guant\u00e1namo in the province of the same name, reported CENAIS, which explains that so far no victims or material damage have been reported as a result of the quakes.<\/p>\n

The largest of the tremors had a magnitude of 4.6 degrees and was recorded at 4:47 pm. It was located 20 kilometers south-southwest of the Santiago town of Chivirico, and just two hours later, a 4.2-magnitude aftershock was recorded. Both earthquakes are considered the seventh and eighth perceptible this year.<\/p>\n

This seismicity, points out CENAIS, \u201ccorresponds to an activation of a segment of the Oriente fault to the south of the Guam\u00e1 municipality, in the province of Santiago de Cuba.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report concludes that both seismologists and government authorities and the Civil Defense \u201care monitoring and evaluating this anomalous seismic activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eastern Cuban zone concentrates these events more frequently, although local experts have warned that they can occur in any area of \u200b\u200bthe country.<\/p>\n

About 70% of earthquakes that occur in Cuba are reported in the Oriente fault, located along the southeast coast of the island, where in 2018 there were 15 perceptible tremors.<\/p>\n

The first earthquake this year occurred on January 23 in the town of Caimanera, in Guant\u00e1namo, with a magnitude 4.2 on the Richter open scale, and five days later a strong magnitude 7.7 earthquake with an epicenter in the Caribbean Sea. It shook several areas of the island from east to west.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, around 1 p.m. this Sunday a tornado occurred in Charrasco, in the municipality of Mais\u00ed, province of Guant\u00e1namo.<\/p>\n

Recovery work began after the tornado, as well as assessing the economic damages it caused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
