Cuba's Power Grid Collapses Again, Leaving Millions in the Dark
Dec 4, 2024, 02:49 PM
Cuba experienced a nationwide blackout early Wednesday after the failure of its largest power plant, marking the third such incident in less than two months. The collapse of the national electrical grid left millions without electricity, affecting daily life across the island.
