A powerful earthquake has struck the Caribbean Sea. Its magnitude was 7.6 on the Richter scale. Authorities have issued a tsunami warning after the powerful earthquake.<\/p>\n
Indian media outlet NDTV reported in a report that the earthquake struck north of Honduras, about 130 miles (209 kilometers) off the coast of the Cayman Islands on Saturday evening local time.<\/p>\n
Citing US monitoring agencies, the media outlet reported that a powerful earthquake measuring 7.6 on the magnitude shook the Caribbean Sea on Saturday evening local time.<\/p>\n
The US Geological Survey (USGS) said that the earthquake struck at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) below the surface. A tsunami warning has been issued for the Caribbean Sea and north of Honduras after the earthquake.<\/p>\n
The US Tsunami Warning Center said no tsunami was expected along the US Atlantic or Gulf coasts after the earthquake, but it issued a tsunami warning for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake was likely to generate a tsunami within 620 miles of the coast of the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico, Honduras, the Bahamas, Belize, Haiti, Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua and Guatemala.<\/p>\n
This is not the first time a powerful earthquake has struck the Caribbean Sea. Earlier, in January 2020, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean Sea off eastern Cuba. Before that, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean Sea in January 2018. At that time, a tsunami warning was issued for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
