Tampa man killed in Cuban boat shootout wanted to overthrow island’s government, loved ones say

A major earthquake struck a coastal region this morning, causing widespread damage and triggering emergency evacuations. Hospitals report dozens of injured residents, with emergency crews racing to reach affected neighborhoods as aftershocks continue to jolt the area.

Authorities have issued a tsunami warning for nearby shores, prompting offshore communities to move to higher ground. Meteorologists say waves could reach several meters, and residents are urged to follow official guidance and avoid coastal areas.

Aid organizations are mobilizing to deliver food, water, and medical supplies, while local officials coordinate shelter and housing for displaced families. The government has pledged rapid reconstruction efforts and announced temporary travel restrictions to hotspots as assessments continue.
