State media report that an investigation into the incident is underway. Experts are analyzing the causes of the disruptions and the extent of their impact on the energy infrastructure.
This is not the first time Cuba has faced such problems. At the end of last year, the country experienced a series of large-scale blackouts due to fuel shortages, worn-out networks and the consequences of natural disasters. The vulnerability of the energy system remains an acute challenge for the authorities.

Last year, Cuba experienced another massive power outage due to an accident at one of the island's main power plants. Millions of people were left without electricity, forcing the authorities to announce the suspension of classes in schools and work activities indefinitely.
