Nationwide Power Outage in Sri Lanka Due to System Failure

Internet disruptions reported as restoration efforts continue amid ongoing economic crisis.

Sri Lanka experienced a nationwide power outage due to a system failure in one of the main transmission lines.
The outage reportedly caused internet disruptions across the country.
Restorations are underway and it may take a few hours to completely restore the power supply.
Sri Lanka's power crisis is exacerbated by its economic crisis, which has led to difficulty in importing sufficient stocks of oil and coal.
The IMF has agreed to a $2.9 billion bailout package for Sri Lanka, with government officials expressing confidence that the next installment will be provided before the end of the year.
