Widespread blackout hits Cuba

Cuba on Friday suffered a general blackout caused by a crash of its national electricity grid.

The counter’s Ministry of Energy and Mines said this in a statement.

“At around 8:15 pm tonight, a breakdown… caused the significant loss of power in western Cuba and with it the fall of the national electricity system,” the Ministry of Energy and Mines said.

It’s the fourth major power outage in Cuba in five months.

Reacting on X, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz said the government was working tirelessly to restore power.

He wrote: “In light of the unexpected disconnection of the National Electric System, work is already underway to ensure its speedy recovery.”

The streets of Havana were plunged into darkness as only a few hotels and private businesses with generators still had lights on, including some essential services such as hospitals.
