Despite the alarm among the population, local authorities did not issue a tsunami warning and continue to closely monitor the situation. Emergency services urged citizens to follow current information through official sources.
Cuba is located in an area prone to seismic activity, especially in its eastern region, which is associated with the presence of the Oriente fault that marks the boundary between the tectonic plates of the Caribbean and North American continents.
