Massive power cut hits Venezuela

Caracas and other parts of crisis-wracked Venezuela were hit by a massive power cut on Monday that the government blamed on an “electromagnetic attack “ on Guayana power station. The lights went out in most of Caracas at 4:41 pm while people in other parts of the country took to social media to report their own power outages. Guayana in southern Venezuela is home to the Guri hydroelectric power station that produces 80 percent of the country’s electricity.
