Cuba Plunged Into Darkness Again as Power Grid Collapses

Cuba was plunged into darkness again after the national power grid collapsed, causing another countrywide outage, officials and state media reported. The failure left hospitals, businesses and homes struggling as electricity supplies were cut across large areas. Authorities said they were working to restore power and stabilize the system, but warned that restoring service could take time depending on the extent of damage and the number of affected zones. The blackout comes amid ongoing strains on the aging grid, fuel shortages and maintenance problems that have triggered repeated outages in recent months.
