Cuba Plunged into Darkness: Islandwide Blackout Brings Fears of Worsening Crisis A devastating islandwide blackout swept across Cuba on Monday, leaving millions without power as the country grapples with a severe fuel shortage and a crumbling electric grid. The blackout, which affected the entire island, is the latest sign of Cuba's deepening energy crisis, which has been exacerbated by a shortage of fuel imports and a lack of investment in the country's aging infrastructure.

The Cuban government has yet to comment on the extent of the damage or the cause of the blackout, but experts warn that the country's energy crisis is likely to worsen in the coming months unless drastic measures are taken.
