Sources at the University of Holguín confirmed to journalist MagJorgeCastro the suspension of classes until at least March 2026, with IPVCE students also sent home, during the reporting window from 9:46:25 PM to 10:46:06 PM UTC on February 5, 2026. This measure addresses Cuba's ongoing collapse in energy and fuel supplies, as stated in Castro's X post. The suspension follows the Cuban regime's announcement at approximately 7:00 PM UTC on February 5 of halting all public transportation lines nationwide due to fuel shortages, as previously reported. The US Embassy in Havana issued a security alert earlier on February 3 warning of unstable electrical grid and fuel shortages impacting transportation, power, water, and communications across the country. An X post by laderechadiario cited the Financial Times reporting that President Miguel Díaz-Canel's regime has only 15 to 20 days of oil reserves left before collapsing, though no timestamp within the current window was specified. No resumption timelines for classes, transport, power, or fuel were provided in the sources.
