Cuba experiences multiple nationwide blackouts in a short period

Cuba has been hit by multiple island-wide power outages. Reports indicate at least two, and possibly three, major blackouts have occurred within a week in March, with the national grid collapsing repeatedly.

Some reports link the ongoing power crisis to broader economic pressures, mentioning the U.S. embargo that was tightened under President Trump. One headline noted a Russian oil tanker bound for Cuba was diverted, highlighting fuel supply challenges.
