Several outlets, including TelQuel and Casa24, documented the outage and disrupted traffic lights. In an evening statement reported by Medi1news, SRM attributed the incident to gusts and thunderstorms; this remains the operator's explanation.
Switching operations on the medium-voltage network restored power to some areas in the early evening, according to SRM. Partial restoration does not establish that service resumed everywhere. The sources consulted do not establish a time for full restoration.
