Widespread blackout hits Venezuela, first major outage since March

At least 14 Venezuelan states lost power on Monday, according to Reuters witnesses and reports on social media, the first nationwide blackout to include the capital Caracas since March. Venezuela suffered a series of blackouts in March, the worst in decades, that left millions of people without running water and telecommunications. The Information Ministry did not respond to a request to comment on the latest outage.
