A 5.6-magnitude earthquake has struck near Guantanamo city in eastern Cuba, sending alarmed residents fleeing into the streets and causing cracks in some buildings, residents said.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or serious damage.
A spokesman at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay also reported no damage there.
The quake, which also was felt strongly in Cuba's second city of Santiago de Cuba, was centred 27 miles southwest of Guantanamo at a depth of 14 miles, the US Geological Survey reported.
State-run Radio Reloj reported from Guantanamo that the quake caused cracks in some buildings and some pieces of masonry fell. The damage was being evaluated, the radio said, but it mentioned no casualties.
No tsunami warning was issued for the region.
