A powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean Sea near Honduras, prompting a tsunami warning for several countries. The Cayman Islands Hazard Management Agency warned of a “real tsunami threat,” urging residents to “stay away from beaches and marinas.” By 8:23 p.m., the threat remained for Cuba, Honduras, and the Cayman Islands, with possible 3-meter waves.
While the advisory was lifted for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, authorities cautioned about “hazardous coastal conditions.” Emergency teams remained on high alert as experts monitored the situation. No immediate reports of injuries or damage were received.
