Notes
Multiple news reports from February 13-14, 2026 confirm a fire at the Havana oil refinery (Nico López). While one report indicates the fire was 'under control,' fires at refineries typically cause significant operational disruption. The facility would require inspection and repairs before resuming normal operations, effectively taking it offline.
