Cuba plunged into darkness again as power grid collapses

Cuba experienced another nationwide blackout on Sunday, according to a statement from the state utility UNE. The power grid failure caused sudden darkness across Havana, prompting audible reactions from residents. The country has faced recurring power outages due to aging infrastructure and the impact of a US energy embargo, which restricts fuel deliveries to power stations. UNE reported a 'total disconnection' of the national electricity system, marking yet another instance of grid collapse. Just 24 hours prior, the western part of the country had already gone dark. These power cuts have severely disrupted daily life, affecting water supply and cooling systems.
