A fire at the Ñico López Refinery in Havana, Cuba, was quickly brought under control, occurring as the country faces a severe fuel crisis. The blaze did not result in any injuries, and an investigation has been launched by Cuba's energy ministry.

• Cuba's fuel shortage worsened after the US blocked Venezuela's oil shipments, which previously accounted for around 35,000 barrels of oil a day.
• US President Donald Trump has urged Cuban leaders to "make a deal" amidst the cut-off of oil and money from Venezuela.
• The UN human rights chief Volker Türk expressed "extreme concern" about the crisis, with UN human rights experts describing Washington's restrictions on oil imports as an "extreme form of unilateral economic coercion".
