Belgium: Many countries in Europe have seen a major blackout today. Power supply has suddenly stopped in big countries like France, Spain, Portugal and Belgium, reports Dynamite News correspondent.

Due to this, air traffic, metro services and even traffic lights on the roads are not working in these countries.

What has happened?

Power has suddenly gone out in many parts of Europe. In Spain and Portugal, even airport services have stopped. People have to wait for metro and train services, as public transport has come to a standstill due to lack of electricity.

How many people were affected?

It is estimated that about 5 crore people have been affected by this blackout. In Portugal and Spain, power has gone out in almost the entire country. The same situation is in many big cities in France and Belgium.

What is the reason for this blackout?

There has been no official confirmation yet, but two possible reasons are emerging: There may have been a major fault in Europe's power distribution system. Some experts believe that an enemy country or hackers may have carried out a cyber attack on Europe's power grid.

The power systems of many countries in Europe are interconnected, so a fault in one country has affected other countries as well.

Metro, train, and airport services have come to a halt. There are traffic jams due to the lack of traffic lights. People are having to work without electricity. Mobile and internet services have also slowed down.

What will happen now?

European governments are trying to fix this problem as soon as possible. If this problem is not solved soon, then by evening there can be a bigger problem, because when it gets dark people will have to face more difficulties.

This incident shows how important electricity and technology have become in the modern world. A small problem can bring the whole country to a standstill. It is not yet clear what caused this blackout, but European governments are investigating it.
