Havana and other parts of western Cuba were plunged into darkness on Aug. 1 due to the country's latest power grid failure, the state-run electric company announced.
Five of 15 provinces had no power due to a "partial collapse" of the electricity grid at 6:07 pm (2207 GMT), Cuba's UNE said on X.
Cuba is reeling from its worst economic crisis in decades — one made worse by the fuel blockade imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump in January as part of a pressure campaign aimed at ending six decades of communist rule.
