Electricity has been restored in Madrid following one of Europe’s worst blackouts, which plunged large parts of Spain and Portugal into darkness. The outage grounded flights, halted trains, and disrupted communications, prompting Spain to declare a state of emergency. Residents celebrated from balconies as power returned, though many endured a night of chaos, hunger, and disrupted sleep. In Barcelona, iconic landmarks like the Sagrada Familia faded into darkness. While energy is now mostly restored, the cause remains unknown amid fears of a cyber attack. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has urged caution against misinformation as investigations continue.
