Cuba's electricity grid has failed for the second time in a day, leaving over 10 million people without power.
Officials are facing a challenging situation as they try to reconnect three key power plants to the system, which was disrupted by a separate malfunction in western Cuba.
The government is blaming the ongoing blackouts, lasting 10-20 hours a day, on a combination of factors including aging infrastructure, fuel shortages, and high demand.
These issues are compounded by difficulties in obtaining fuel and spare parts, which some attribute to the U.S. embargo and sanctions.
