Last update: 2 hours agoMining: Cuba has temporarily closed its largest zinc-and-lead mine, the Castellanos project in Pinar del Río, through Jan. 30. Authorities cite export and logistics problems and the energy deficit; the Trafigura-backed operation had already stopped shipments. Power Supply: A fire at the Alacranes substation in Matanzas left about 3,700 customers without electricity, including two water-pumping stations and local health facilities. The cause is under investigation. Manufacturing: Las Tunas’ only surgical-glove factory has not produced gloves since 2017. Key imported materials are unavailable, leaving a gap in domestic medical-supply production.
