Cuba plunged into 3rd nationwide blackout in 2 weeks as fuel runs low

Cuba experienced its third nationwide blackout in two weeks due to fuel shortages exacerbated by the U.S. oil embargo. The outage, caused by a generating unit failure in Holguín, disrupted essential services and infrastructure, with partial power restoration reported in some areas. Fuel scarcity, deepened by economic sanctions, has led to halted public transportation, canceled surgeries, and widespread daily challenges.
