The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Cuba’s national electric grid suffered a total collapse on Monday, causing an islandwide blackout that affected nearly 10 million people. The state electricity company described a total disconnection of the National Electric Power System, and the grid operator said the cause was under investigation. It was Cuba’s third nationwide outage since the start of the year, with limited service later restored in some areas. The failure came as fuel reserves for power plants dwindled, the aging grid remained fragile, and U.S. pressure on fuel shipments continued.
