Four of the five provinces in eastern Cuba suffered a major blackout. The power failure affected most of the country's eastern region.
The blackout occurred after a partial disconnection of the electrical grid. The incident left a significant part of Cuban territory without power.
The situation occurs in a context of profound energy crisis on the island. Cuba faces difficulties in electricity supply.
The energy crisis is attributed to the oil embargo imposed by the United States. The American sanctions limit Cuba's access to fossil fuels, worsening the situation of the Cuban electrical system.
