Cuba's fourth blackout in five months continues into a second day

Cuba is experiencing a severe economic crisis, characterized by widespread food and fuel shortages. The country has suffered five power grid failures in the past six months. According to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the failure was caused by a malfunction at the Diezmero substation, resulting in a significant loss of power generation. The authorities have cited the use of parallel circuits to provide power to priority sectors, suggesting a temporary solution to mitigate the effects of the outage.
