This marks the second time in a week that Cuba has reported a complete blackout, the first occurring on Monday, as Donald Trump continues to block critical oil shipments from Venezuela.
Cuba’s Ministry of Energy Saturday announced that the island has suffered a second power blackout in less than a week, leaving millions of people without electricity.
“A total disconnection of the National Electric System has occurred. Protocols for restoration are already beginning to be implemented, the ministry said in a post on X".
Se ha producido una desconexión total del Sistema Eléctrico Nacional. Ya comienzan a implementarse los protocolos para el restablecimiento.
