Cuba Suffers Nationwide Blackout amid Energy Crisis

 Cuba was plunged into darkness on Friday as a nationwide power outage left the entire island without electricity, affecting more than 10 million people.

The Antonio Guiteras power plant, one of Cuba's largest, experienced a critical failure in Matanzas province, triggering a complete breakdown of the country’s electrical grid just before midday. The outage follows days of rolling blackouts across the island.

Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz attributed the crisis to aging infrastructure and fuel shortages exacerbated by Hurricane Milton, which has disrupted fuel deliveries. In a televised address on Thursday night, Marrero Cruz assured citizens that restoring power to residential areas would be a priority, with new fuel shipments expected to arrive in the coming days.
