Cuba Faces Severe Power Crisis as Nationwide Blackouts Persist
Cuba is grappling with widespread power outages after its electrical grid suffered a significant collapse, leaving millions in darkness. The country has experienced two major blackouts in a short span, the latest triggered by the failure of a major power plant. As the crisis deepens, the government has shuttered schools and state-owned workplaces while struggling to restore service. Progress has been made in restoring power to a portion of the population, but the situation remains critical as officials admit there is no immediate solution in sight. The repeated failures of the energy grid have paralyzed the economy and prompted widespread concern among residents enduring multiple days without electricity.
