Millions of people in Cuba lost power after the national grid collapsed. Large parts of the country, including Havana, went dark. The state power operator said electricity is being restored slowly. This is the latest in a series of major blackouts. Residents said the crisis is worsening daily life. “There is no electricity, no food, no fuel,” one person said. Another resident said people are now used to such outages. Cuba is facing fuel shortages and old infrastructure problems. The situation has led to protests in some areas, with people demanding better conditions. (PC: BBC)
