Cuba hit by rare nationwide blackout as grid collapses
TL;DR Summary
Havana experienced a total collapse of Cuba's electrical grid on Monday, triggering a nationwide blackout—the latest in a string of outages tied to an oil shortage after the US curtailed fuel shipments. Officials are working to restore power, but Cuba’s energy crisis has been worsened by sanctions and chronic underinvestment in its generation system. President Diaz-Canel said no oil had arrived in three months as talks with the United States continue.
