Millions of residents in Cuba are without electricity since the country has once again suffered a nationwide power outage.

An error at a transformer station on the outskirts of Havana has caused “a significant loss of production in western Cuba” and with it a “accident in the national electrical system”, the Cuban Energy Ministry announced on Friday night, local time.

The Cubans are not unfamiliar with long power outages. The country was paralyzed by several extensive interruptions last year.
