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

Cuba experienced a 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 public services and health care, with partial power restoration reported in some areas. Fuel scarcity has led to halted transportation, canceled surgeries, and reliance on solar backup systems.
