Tropical Storm Oscar is chugging toward the Bahamas after making landfall in Cuba as a Category 1 hurricane, killing at least six people.

At least six people have died as a result of Hurricane Oscar in Cuba, the country's president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, has confirmed. Oscar made landfall as a category one hurricane near the city of Baracoa in eastern Cuba on Sunday afternoon local time before weakening to a tropical storm.

Oscar, which the National Hurricane Center characterized as "very small," is the 15th named storm of the hurricane season.
