A MAGNITUDE-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.
