A tsunami warning was cancelled in the Caribbean Sea after the region's most powerful earthquake in four years struck in the sea north of Honduras.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported the quake's magnitude as 7.6, while the German Research Center for Geosciences reported a 7.5 magnitude, both at a depth of 10km.
The US Tsunami Warning System had initially forecast waves of up to 3 metres for Cuba and between 0.3 and 1 meter for Honduras and the Cayman Islands but later said the threat had passed.
"Based on all available data... the tsunami threat from this earthquake has passed and there is no further threat," the US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
The US Tsunami Warning System had also issued advisories for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands following the quake, which was later cancelled.
It was unclear if there was any movement or damage on land.
The initial tsunami threat warning included more than a dozen countries.
About three hours after the earthquake, US authorities warned that "minor sea level fluctuations" of up to 30 centimeters could still occur, but that any serious threat had passed.
A tsunami measuring gauge at Isla Mujeres, on Mexico's eastern coast, measured a wave with a maximum height of four centimeters (0.1 feet) after the earthquake, the US Tsunami Warning Center said.
The quake was the biggest to hit the region since 2021, when a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
