BBC in Cuba as island plunged into darkness
Mexico will continue accepting Cuban medical workers despite US pressure
AI Summary
A nationwide blackout has plunged Cuba into darkness, affecting over 10 million residents and businesses. The power outage, reported by the BBC's Will Grant from Havana, is due to the collapse of the country's national electrical grid. Cuba has experienced multiple blackouts this month, which are attributed to chronic fuel shortages and an aging electricity infrastructure. The fuel shortages are reportedly exacerbated by a US fuel blockade that restricts foreign oil imports needed to operate power stations. The Communist-run island nation is struggling to maintain a stable power supply amid these challenges.
