Cuba back in the dark: third major blackout in just six months

Cuba has experienced another nationwide blackout, marking the third such incident in just six months, exacerbating an already severe energy crisis. The country faces ongoing shortages of food, water, and medicine, worsened by U.S. sanctions imposed under President Donald Trump, which have restricted oil imports. Cuba's aging power infrastructure struggles to meet demand, with residents in Havana receiving electricity for only three to four hours daily. Despite efforts to invest in solar energy, these projects currently contribute less than ten percent of total electricity production, insufficient to stabilize supply. The situation highlights deepening challenges for the Cuban population.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about Cuba's energy crisis, including the impact of U.S. sanctions and the state of infrastructure, without overtly favoring any political perspective. It cites The Guardian as a source and provides context without editorializing or biased language.
