Millions are left without power as a widespread blackout hits Spain, Portugal, and parts of France, causing significant disruption and transport chaos. The Spanish government has declared a state of emergency after the nationwide power failure, which officials are attributing to a rare atmospheric phenomenon or extreme weather. In Portugal, authorities report that restoring the power grid could take up to a week, leading to widespread scrambling among residents and travelers. Major events, including matches at the Madrid Open, have been canceled as the blackout disrupts daily life and critical services. The situation remains unclear, with leaders still trying to determine the root cause of the outages, and there are no indications of a cyberattack as the source. As the crisis unfolds, the public has been urged to minimize travel and conserve resources.
