Cuba has been plunged into darkness due to a nationwide blackout, marking the third occurrence in just six months. Nearly 10 million residents have been affected as the national electric grid collapses for reasons that remain unknown. The power crisis is compounded by dwindling fuel reserves and an aging infrastructure, exacerbated by ongoing U.S. pressure and fuel blockades. Despite the dire circumstances, Cubans are demonstrating resilience, facing challenges such as empty shops and collapsing salaries with steadfastness.
