Cuba plunges into darkness as state energy firm reports new nationwide blackout

Cuba experienced a nationwide blackout as its state energy firm reported a complete failure of the national electricity system. The outage affected the entire country, including Havana, where residents were caught unprepared and reacted with frustration. This follows previous blackouts caused by aging infrastructure and the ongoing U.S. energy embargo, which limits fuel supplies for power generation. The situation has worsened over time, making daily life increasingly difficult for Cubans. In response, the Cuban government has implemented economic reforms aimed at revitalizing the struggling economy. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to impose sanctions on Cuban state enterprises and has taken legal action against former President Raul Castro.
