Power has been restored in Spain and Portugal after a crippling blackout left millions without electricity for up to 20 hours. The outage, which began Monday afternoon, disrupted transport, communication, and daily life. Though the exact cause remains unclear, officials cited a massive power fluctuation that disconnected the Iberian grid from the European system. Speculations of cyberattacks and unusual atmospheric events circulated online. Prime Ministers of both nations assured investigations are underway. Train services, internet, and phone lines have resumed, and 99.95% of demand has been restored. Emergency meetings and further analyses are ongoing to prevent future occurrences. (PC: NDTV)
