Cuba Works to Restore Power After Another Nationwide Blackout
The outage is at least the sixth major nationwide power failure this year, according to Al Jazeera, following the imposition of a US energy blockade.
Cuban authorities are working to restore electricity across the island after a major nationwide blackout, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The outage marks at least the sixth such nationwide power failure this year, the report said, occurring after a United States-imposed energy blockade went into effect.
Al Jazeera did not specify further details in the excerpt regarding the exact timing of the latest outage, the scale of the restoration effort, or the specific causes cited by Cuban officials.
Cuba's electrical grid has faced repeated collapses in recent years, with officials previously attributing disruptions to fuel shortages, aging infrastructure and, according to the government, the impact of US sanctions.
This report is based on limited available information from the cited source. Further details on the current outage and restoration efforts were not immediately available.
