Cuba’s electrical grid failure leaves 10 million without power

Cuba experienced a nationwide blackout on Monday after a complete collapse of its electrical grid, affecting about 10 million residents. The outage occurred shortly after protests against the energy crisis, where demonstrators attacked a Communist Party office. The Cuban Ministry of Energy and Mines is investigating the causes and restoring power, while officials attribute ongoing energy issues to aging infrastructure, fuel shortages, and U.S. sanctions. Residents have been advised to unplug nonessential devices as the country faces frequent power disruptions.
