Cuba’s state energy firm reports new nationwide blackout

Cuba's state energy firm, UNE, reported a nationwide blackout on Sunday, causing the country to be plunged into darkness, including the capital city of Havana. The total disconnection of the national electricity system left residents in a state of shock as they were caught off guard by the abrupt loss of power. This latest blackout follows a series of rolling power cuts that have plagued Cuba in recent years, primarily due to aging infrastructure and the US energy embargo that has restricted fuel deliveries to power stations.
