A 6.1-magnitude earthquake occurred in the waters near western Cuba on June 8, 2026, according to multiple sources. Tremors from the earthquake were felt in Havana and Florida. Flavia Pupo, a manager at the Pinar del Río hotel in western Cuba, reported the building shook and caused fear. Maria Moncayo, who works at a law office in downtown Fort Lauderdale, felt a vibrating sensation lasting about a minute. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 km according to the US Geological Survey, though conflicting depth reports exist: one source reported 26 km, another 33 km, and a separate source cited 28 km according to the National Center for Seismology. A separate report from one outlet stated a 6.2-magnitude earthquake occurred near Cuba on the same day, while another reported a 6.2-magnitude earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico on the same day, with some sources treating these as separate events and others conflating them. The epicenter was located about 118 kilometres west-northwest of Mantua, Cuba, according to one report. The earthquake occurred at 1800 GMT according to the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, and at 11:30 p.m. local time according to the US Geological Survey. The earthquake was felt in high-rise buildings in Cuba, according to one report. Cuba lies near the boundary between the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates, according to one source.
