AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoNationwide blackout and health fallout: Cuba suffered another full blackout of the National Electric System, the third in two weeks, as fuel shortages and a generating-unit problem in Holguín triggered cascading outages; officials say restoration is being done via fragile “microsystems” to keep hospitals and food processing running, but the outages are disrupting cooking, water supply, transport, internet/phones, and have led to cancelled tens of thousands of surgeries. Energy restoration guidance: Cuba’s Electric Company in Santiago de Cuba warned residents to reconnect devices gradually and avoid running high-consumption appliances at the same time, to prevent overloads from collapsing local power “islands.” Sanctions pressure on health-linked sectors: The U.S. expanded sanctions targeting Cuba’s tourism ministry and additional state-linked entities, tightening restrictions that affect fuel, trade, and foreign exchange—conditions that worsen access to essentials like medical supplies. Humanitarian aid for shortages: Brazil sent powdered milk to Cuba amid the island’s worst food crisis and worsening shortages tied to the tightened U.S. embargo and oil supply constraints. Havana Syndrome update: A Pentagon-linked investigation into Havana Syndrome is reportedly using a private surveillance firm to support its work, keeping attention on the health mystery that has affected U.S. personnel since 2016.
