Island-Wide Blackout Hits Puerto Rico

A major power outage plunged most of Puerto Rico into darkness on New Year's Eve, affecting over 1.3 million people.

The power company, Luma Energy, attributed the outage to an underground power line failure, estimating repairs will take two days.

Restoration efforts are underway in phases, prioritizing critical facilities like hospitals, although many remain without power.

This widespread blackout highlights ongoing concerns regarding Puerto Rico's unreliable power infrastructure and its frequent outages.
