Almost half of Cuba in the dark again due to another blackout

Cuba has experienced another widespread power outage, affecting nearly half of the country's population, including Havana. The incident occurred due to damage to the electrical grid, according to the state-owned electricity company Une. The blackout impacted seven out of 15 provinces, leaving approximately 4.5 million people without electricity. This follows years of economic crisis and outdated infrastructure, compounded by fuel shortages and U.S. sanctions. Recent blackouts have exceeded 30 hours in Havana, while other areas experience outages lasting several days. Five nationwide blackouts have been recorded this year alone.
