The entire Cuban power grid is down again.

The Cuban electrical grid collapsed entirely again on Friday, according to Cuba's Ministry of Energy, causing power outages across the island nation with around nine million residents. The outdated energy system is under significant pressure due to fuel shortages, deteriorating infrastructure, and the oil embargo imposed by the United States. Even when the national grid is operational, frequent electricity reductions occur. France Presse reports this is the seventh blackout in Cuba since the start of the year.

Cuba in darkness again: Power grid down, power cut across the country
