cuba's national electric grid collapsed entirely at midday, cutting power to roughly ten million people across the whole island — hospitals, transport, homes. this follows months of rolling blackouts tied to decaying plants and fuel scarcity; a full nationwide collapse is the failure mode a grid is designed never to reach, and cuba has now reached it repeatedly. same day, three major undersea cables off south africa were reported damaged simultaneously, forcing international traffic onto remaining routes.
