For the third consecutive day, Cuba was plunged into darkness in anticipation of Hurricane Oscar approaching the island.

The country's national power grid collapsed for the first time around noon Friday after the Antonio Guiteras thermal power plant, the island's largest, collapsed, causing the biggest blackout in at least two years.

Despite the efforts of authorities, the network collapsed again on Saturday morning. More than 10 million people were without power on Sunday morning.

Two small protests took place overnight, one in Marianao and the other in Havana's Cuatro Caminos district.

Later on Sunday, gradual progress had been made as power was restored to some neighborhoods of the Cuban capital, and by midday state service said some areas had restored power.
