> Cuba suffered a total power failure on Friday after what the U.S. Embassy in Havana called a collapse of the electrical grid. The cause and restoration timeline remain unknown, while cellphone and internet outages were reported. The embassy said the system is increasingly unstable, with frequent scheduled and unscheduled outages. Fuel shortages, the U.S.-imposed oil blockade and crumbling infrastructure are straining the grid.
