Cuban officials announced a total islandwide blackout as the National Electric Power System disconnected amid a severe energy crisis exacerbated by U.S. sanctions. The blackout underscores the fragility of Cuba's infrastructure and the impact of the ongoing trade restrictions on the island's ability to function. This event further isolates the regime as it struggles to maintain basic services for its population.
