Cuba brought its ‌national electrical grid back online on Thursday after the country had been largely without power for 16 hours in an outage that Energy Ministry officials linked to the oil blockade of Cuba imposed by the United States.

Half of Cuba has been left in darkness as power cuts hit the island yesterday, as Trump gleefully takes credit, saying the country's troubles 'were icing on the cake' after US operations against Venez

The electric company Union Electrica UNE said the blackout was caused ‌by an unexpected outage at Antonio ‌Guiteras thermoelectric plant about 100 km (62 miles) east of Havana, cutting electricity from Pinar del Rio in the far ⁠west to central-eastern ⁠Camaguey province.

Havana's streets have changed as a US fuel blockade restricts the movements of vehicles and people and hits businesses.

A Cuban official 13 bullet holes were found on the border guard boat and 21 others on the suspect’s vessel, “meaning that there was combat.”

Cuba said it has filed terrorism charges against six suspects it says were aboard a Florida-flagged speedboat that allegedly opened fire on soldiers in waters off the island’s north coast.

Officials from Cuba claimed the group opened fire while trying to enter the country. Cuban troops returned fire, killing four people on board.

Speculation about what's next for Havana comes as the U.S. continues to attack Iran and shortly after Trump ordered U.S. forces to depose Venezuela's president.

The president told POLITICO “Cuba’s going to fall," revealed his growing frustration with Ukraine and the uncertain search for a new leader of Iran.
