Millions left without power after major blackout hits Cuba's western region
A widespread blackout struck western Cuba on Wednesday, leaving millions without power due to the shutdown of the Antonio Guiteras thermoelectric plant. Officials estimate up to 72 hours for restoration, exacerbating the island's ongoing struggles with dwindling oil reserves and a failing electric grid. This marks the second major outage in the region within three months.
