At least six people have died as a result of Hurricane Oscar in Cuba, the country's president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, has confirmed. Oscar made landfall as a category one hurricane near the city of Baracoa in eastern Cuba on Sunday afternoon local time before weakening to a tropical storm.

Tropical Storm Oscar is chugging toward the Bahamas after making landfall in Cuba as a Category 1 hurricane, killing at least six people.

Tropical Storm Oscar doused Cuba on Monday, three days after a massive power failure plunged more than 10 million people into the dark as the island worked to restore its decades-old power grid.
