Cuba is experiencing its third nationwide blackout in two weeks, exacerbating an ongoing energy crisis fueled by a U.S. oil embargo and dwindling fuel reserves. The blackout, caused by a generating unit failure in Holguín province, left the entire country without power, with authorities activating protocols to restore electricity to critical infrastructure like hospitals.

The situation highlights the broader consequences of the U.S. embargo on Cuba's energy grid and daily operations.
