Several Turkish regions have been affected by major power cuts after the failure of the country’s electricity distribution system.
The power failed at about 10:40 a.m., hitting several Turkish cities and shutting down the subway in Ankara and Istanbul.
The power cut also affected most Internet and telephone connections across the country and left people completely cut off.
The country is facing the worst such incident over the last 15 years. Authorities are currently examining the possibility of a terrorist attack.
