A technical fault has caused what appears to be a nationwide blackout, officials and residents say. It was not immediately known how long it may last.
The incident began at 11:50 p.m. on Saturday when power failures were reported in all major cities, including Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar, and Rawalpindi. It appeared to be nationwide.
“[The National Transmission & Despatch Company] system tripped. It will take sometime before everything gets back to normal,” Islamabad Deputy Commissioner Hamza Shafqaat said.
