Power outages strike from Ukraine to San Francisco
Original: power outage
Blackouts are making headlines in several places at once. Ukraine is suffering widespread power cuts after Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, with DTEK publishing outage schedules and Kyiv's water utility warning that losing electricity also means losing water supply. In the United States, parts of San Francisco were hit by a midday outage, and Hurricane Isaias left thousands without power and at least four people dead along the Gulf Coast. Indonesia is also asking what caused a blackout in Batam.
Why now: Multiple high-impact blackouts, including Russian strikes on Ukraine's grid and Hurricane Isaias in the US, are in the news at the same time.
