HAVANA, Cuba (AFP)—Cuba’s power grid failed for the third time in less than 10 days, sparking another nationwide blackout, the national electricity company said Tuesday.
The national power grid completely went offline at about 11:05 am (1505 GMT), the state-run UNE electricity company said.
The Caribbean island is reeling from its worst economic crisis in decades — one made worse by the fuel blockade imposed by US President Donald Trump in January as part of a pressure campaign aimed at ending six decades of communist rule.
