HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba's power-grid operator said it had restored electricity to parts of the capital Havana on Monday following a fourth major grid failure in 48 hours, while Tropical Storm Oscar lashed the island's eastern end.

Strong winds and heavy rain uprooted trees and scattered downed power lines in places, complicating recovery efforts.
