A massive power outage that has affected tens of thousands of Berlin residents continued into its second day, with a full restoration not expected until Thursday evening.
The outage — caused by a suspected arson attack on two electricity pylons — continues to affect around 20,000 households and businesses in the southeast of the German capital, down from 50,000 the previous day.
