A new terrorist attack on Venezuela’s electrical system has reportedly impacted approximately 25% of the country, according to official reports.
Electricity Minister Jorge Márquez described the incident as sabotage against the National Electric System (SEN), noting significant fluctuations in several states and in the capital, Caracas.
The effects of the attack were felt immediately in the capital, where the subway service was forced to suspend operations for about an hour. Authorities have reported that services are gradually being restored.
While not providing specific details, the minister attributed the outage to an “attack on the transmission system.”
In response to the situation, Minister Márquez assured that Corpoelec, the state electricity company, is working diligently to recover power and restore services in affected areas. He estimated that normalizing the electricity supply would take between 40 minutes to an hour.
