YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Cuba has suffered another partial blackout as dwindling fuel imports and an aging power grid strain the island's energy supply. Large parts of western Cuba — including Havana, which is usually spared the worst outages, were left without power, though authorities said electricity would be restored gradually. The disruption comes amid a wider economic downturn, with the Corona pandemic, tighter US sanctions limiting fuel purchases, and reduced support from key allies deepening the crisis. The outage followed two days of peak-hour shortages across the island.
