Power is completely restored in Pakistan after a terrorist attack triggered a power failure and caused a blackout across about 80 percent of the nation.
“There were miscreants who resorted to destroying two power pylons in Baluchistan,” said Zafaryab Khan, spokesman at the water and power ministry, adding they haven’t been identified yet. “Their attack had plunged the country into darkness for an initial few minutes around the midnight hour, but we had things back and running in no time.”
