HAVANA (AP) — Cuba has suffered a massive power outage affecting Havana and the country’s provinces that has left millions in the dark. Cuba’s Ministry of Energy and Mines said at around 8:15 p.m. local time a power outage at the Diezmero substation on the outskirts of Havana had caused “a significant loss of generation in western Cuba and, with it, the failure of the National Electric System.” The ministry said it is “working on the recovery process.” The streets of Havana were dark and empty, with light coming only from the windows of hotels that had generators. People in provinces as far away as Guantୡmo, Artemisa, Santiago de Cuba, and Santa Clara reported experiencing blackouts.
