Yet ANOTHER Fire-Explosion Rocks Cuba

Coincidental? Suspicious? 

    In recent weeks a devastating series of fires-explosions have rocked Cuba...including in the important financial center of Mariel {see map} that is 30 miles southwest of Havana, the capital of Havana itself, etc., and now the key city of Matanzas that is 65 miles southeast of Havana. This weekend {August 6-7, 2022} the island is being shocked again by another massive fire-explosion, this time at a key power plant in Matanzas!!!!

     This is the headline today {August 6th, 2022} by the Associated Press's excellent reporter in Cuba, Andrea Rodriguez, regarding the vast fire and explosion in Matanzas.

   As you can see above, the AP's Andrea Rodriguez reports that the vast Matanzas fire and explosion was caused by a "lightning strike" according to the Cuban government. Similarly Cuba has suggested the recent explosions in Mariel, Havana, etc., had also been caused by accidental or natural causes.

     This is how Cubans saw the devastation of the Matanzas explosion-fire on their TV News broadcasts.

    The two photos above by Yamil Lage for the powerful Paris-based AFP News Agency show that on Saturday afternoon {August 6, 2022} Cuban helicopters were still dropping ocean water on the ruins of the Matanzas explosion-fire.

 For sure, Cubans are trying desperately to survive the combined throes of the ever-tightening U. S. Embargo-Blockade and also the remaining remnants of the COVID Pandemic. The twin perils are causing shortages of food and medicines on the island as well as intermittent power outages. For sure, everyday Cubans since 2019 believe that their enemies just across the Florida Straits were/are urging the Trump-Biden administrations to take advantage of the added COVID pandemic to tighten the EMBARGO perils even more. While the Cuban government maintains that the drastic series of fires-explosions that have assaulted the economic, tourist, and power structures on the island have been accidental, many everyday Cubans are not sure, and they want more answers.

     Meantime, as you see above by the date today -- August 6, 2022 -- Cuban firefighters are still trying to save what remains of the key power plant at Matanzas, Cuba.
