More hardship in fuel-starved Cuba, hit by third nationwide blackout this year

Cuba experienced its third nationwide blackout of the year on Monday, exacerbating existing energy crises caused by a U.S. fuel blockade.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel attributed the ongoing energy crisis to U.S. sanctions, highlighting the impact of the economic restrictions on the nation's infrastructure.
