HAVANA, Aug. 3 — Cuba was hit by another nationwide blackout on Sunday, the National Electric Union said.
The union said in a statement on social media that the country’s national power system experienced a total disconnection at 22:43 local time (0243 GMT).
A partial collapse of Cuba’s National Electric System left western provinces without electricity on Saturday.
Cuba has struggled to import fuel and repair its aging power plants due to the impact of U.S. sanctions, the statement said.
Since October 2024, Cuba has suffered several nationwide blackouts due to power facility failures, hurricanes and other factors.(Namibia Daily News / Xinhua)
