CUBA'S POWER GRID FAILED FRIDAY NIGHT, LEAVING MILLIONS IN DARKNESS. (PHOTO).


 Cuba’s power grid failed Friday night, leaving millions of the island nation’s 10 million residents in the dark.

Vicente de la O Levy, Cuba's minister of energy and mines, said on X Friday night that the country was making progress in restoring electricity. He gave no reason for the power grid’s crash apart from saying it started at the Diezmero substation, which then caused the National Electric System to fail.
