Cuba's power grid collapsed on Friday, leaving millions of people across the island without electricity for at least the sixth time since U.S. President Donald Trump cut off fuel to the island in January.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines announced the islandwide power outage on its official X account and said officials had begun "activating service-restoration protocols."

A 60-year-old worker in Havana, Mercedes Rodriguez, described the strain while waiting for public transportation to return home. "No one can stand these constant blackouts. There isn't enough food, there's no water, there's no electricity -- you have no idea," she said. "The country is in such a sad state, and there are no words for what we're going through."

The outage is the latest in a series of grid failures affecting the island, according to the account. No further details on the cause were available in the supplied material.
