Summary

Cuba's national electric grid suffered a complete collapse on Monday, leaving around 10 million residents without power. This significant blackout adds to the ongoing energy crisis that has plagued the Caribbean island for months. The nation has been experiencing prolonged power outages, recently extending to days.
These frequent outages are partly due to an ailing infrastructure and a U.S.-imposed oil blockade, which has severely restricted the island's fuel supply. Grid operators have initiated an investigation to determine the specific cause of this latest nationwide failure.
