Cuba has experienced another major power outage, leaving millions without electricity. According to CBS News US, one resident described the situation as uncertain, stating there is 'no way to know' when power will be restored. France24 English reports that this marks the seventh major blackout of the year, with the island's aging thermoelectric plants contributing to frequent power cuts. The situation has worsened since January, when the United States imposed a de facto energy blockade on the island. The reports highlight the ongoing challenges Cuba faces with its electrical infrastructure and the impact of external factors on its energy supply.
