Cuban President announces upcoming visit to eastern province

Havana, Nov 11 (Prensa Latina) President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced today he will return to Guantánamo this week to check on the recovery efforts in the eastern Cuban province, affected by the ravages of Hurricane Oscar.

In his profile on the social network X, the Cuban leader stated that the work to repair the damage caused by the meteor there has not stopped.

Along with the daily checks on the situation in the western provinces after the passage of Hurricane Rafael, we specify how things are going in San Antonio, Imías, Maisí and Baracoa (Guantanamo municipalities most affected by Oscar).

Cuba is making efforts to recover from the damage caused by two meteorological events that hit its territory recently: Oscar in the east, and the intense hurricane Rafael, which affected the western territory with category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale (out of five).

The eastern region was also hit yesterday by earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 and 6.7, whose aftershocks damaged infrastructure, caused partial collapses in houses, stairs, and cracked walls.

They also caused damage to electrical and communications networks, among other damages.
