Cuba turns lights back on in parts of Havana, elsewhere still dark after Ian

HAVANA, Cuba, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Cuba had begun to progressively restore power to the capital Havana by early on Thursday, according to Reuters witnesses and official reports, but vast swaths of the Caribbean island nation still remained in the dark following the passage of Hurricane Ian.

Much of the island of 11 million people was entering its third day without power on Thursday after the brawling storm made landfall, knocking out high-tension wires, flattening homes and obliterating agricultural fields.

At least three people died in the storm in Cuba, state-run media reported.

Officials with the state power generator said they were making progress but still in the early stages of a "complex" recovery.

"In the operation of an electrical system, one of the most complex processes is restoring power from zero," said Pavel Angulo, a director of Cuba's National Electric Union, on a state-run news broadcast late on Wednesday.
