Protesters in Cuba attack Communist party office in rare riot over blackout

Anti-government protesters in Cuba attacked a Communist Party office in a rare outbreak of violence during demonstrations over worsening blackouts and food shortages. The riot represents an unusual escalation of public unrest in the tightly controlled communist state, where such direct confrontations with government facilities are extremely uncommon. The protests were triggered by Cuba's deteriorating infrastructure crisis, which has left citizens without reliable electricity and adequate food supplies.
