FranceCuba has experienced its sixth nationwide power outage since the beginning of the year, plunging the country into darkness during the night of Sunday August 2 to Monday August 3. The state-owned electricity company Union Electrica reported a 'total disconnection' of the national electrical system, affecting even Havana. The Ministry of Energy and Mines stated the blackout occurred at 10:43 PM local time (2:43 AM GMT) and emphasized that protocols were being implemented to restore the system. This follows ongoing economic crisis and infrastructure challenges, exacerbated by the U.S. oil embargo imposed earlier this year, which has limited fuel supplies for power plants and backup generators. Cuba blames the United States for the energy crisis, while the U.S. attributes it to poor economic management. Relations between the two countries have deteriorated further this year, particularly after the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, an ally of the Cuban government.
