Cuba Plunged into Darkness: A Diplomatic Crisis Erupts

Cuba has been hit by a widespread blackout, leaving many areas of the island nation without power. The outage comes amidst a diplomatic crisis between Cuba and Ecuador, as the South American country has expelled Cuba's ambassador and diplomatic staff from Quito, the capital.

The decision by Ecuador to expel the Cuban envoy and his team was announced on Monday, with the government giving them 48 hours to leave the country. The move follows a diplomatic row between the two nations, though the exact reasons behind the expulsion remain unclear at this time.
