Puerto Rico's string of tremors continued Tuesday morning as another earthquake knocked out power and left at least one person dead.
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake rocked Puerto Rico early on Tuesday, centered off the island's southern coast, CNN reports. At least one person, a 73-year-old man, was killed, while at least eight have been injured, The Associated Press reports.
This comes one day after Puerto Rico was struck by a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, which followed several quakes ranging from 4.7 to 5.1 in magnitude rocking the island since Dec. 28. A 6.0 aftershock followed Tuesday's earthquake about three hours later, per AP.
