A major power cut has caused havoc in parts of Spain and Portugal, affecting many parts of people’s every day lives.
In Spain, video has captured chaos on the roads as traffic lights stop working and in Portugal, commuters filmed Metro stations plunged into darkness.
Prime Minister of Portugal Luis Montenegro says there is “no indication” that a cyber attack is behind the outages, with the country’s electricity operator attributing the cut to a “rare atmospheric phenomenon.
Spain’s prime minister Pedro Sánchez said the causes of the power cut is still unknown.
