On Sunday evening, Cuba's electrical grid failed, causing a power outage that affected the entire island, with a population of approximately 10 million residents. The state operator of the grid confirmed the incident, emphasizing that this situation comes against the backdrop of an increase in the frequency of power outages in recent weeks.

Cuban authorities are facing significant challenges in managing the electrical system, and citizens have experienced discomfort due to repeated power outages. This energy crisis has raised concerns about the stability of Cuba's electrical infrastructure, in the context of an economy already affected by difficulties.
