Cuba Fire BREAKING: Huge Blaze HITS Cuba Oil hub as Trump’s Sanctions Cause Fuel shortages to worsen

A major fire erupted at Havana’s Nico López refinery, sending thick black smoke over the bay and raising fears for Cuba’s already fragile fuel supply. Fire crews battled the blaze at the key oil facility as officials investigated the cause and assessed risks to nearby storage tanks. The incident comes at a critical time, with the island facing severe shortages and declining foreign oil shipments. U.S. pressure on Venezuelan exports to Cuba has worsened the energy crisis, leaving tankers absent for weeks. Authorities have imposed emergency fuel cuts, shutting universities and reducing transport, while hospitals, schools, and public services struggle under growing nationwide shortages.
