A 6.1-magnitude earthquake strikes offshore near the western side of Cuba and is felt across parts of southern Florida, according to multiple reports. Outlets including NBC News, ABC News, and others say the quake occurs in the southern Gulf west of Cuba. The ABC News reports location details, describing the event as occurring about 118 kilometers west-northwest of Cuba, while The Hindu and Korea Times cite U.S. Geological Survey information on depth, including figures around 10 kilometers and 26 kilometers. NDTV and ABC News say the shaking is felt in and around Havana, with reports that buildings are disturbed and residents notice tremors. In the United States, the Miami Herald and ABC News report that the National Weather Service in Miami receives reports of minor shaking across southwestern Florida. Several sources also indicate that there is no tsunami threat: the Miami Herald specifically reports the agency says there is no tsunami danger. Korea Times adds that no injuries or damage are reported, and includes local accounts of people feeling the shaking, including in Fort Lauderdale and as far north as the Orlando area through social media accounts.
