Cuba braces for US attack amid second nationwide blackout in a week

• Cuba faces a second nationwide blackout in a week, prompting officials to declare readiness for any potential US attack.
• Power was gradually restored, with two-thirds of Havana regaining electricity, but two provinces remained without power.
• Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio stated Cuba is "historically ready to mobilise as a nation for military aggression" but hopes it won't occur.
• The crisis is deepened by severe fuel shortages due to a US oil blockade, leaving Cuba without imported fuel since January 9.
• Frequent blackouts have worsened living conditions, leading to public frustration and protests across the island.
