Five Cuban provinces lose power due to ongoing U.S. embargo
Cuba has been suffering from a severe economic crisis for the past five years, worsened by the US embargo imposed on the country, which has led to a sharp shortage of fuel supplies and deterioration of the electrical grid. On Saturday evening, a partial failure occurred in the national electrical grid, affecting five provinces, including Havana, resulting in power outages lasting up to 30 hours in some areas, especially due to repeated outages caused by fuel shortages and infrastructure decay. Tensions between the United States and Cuba have escalated since the beginning of the year, particularly after Washington's arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. American officials consider the island to pose a threat to U.S. national security.
