Sabotage Causes Power Cut in Nice

Israa Farhan A widespread power outage struck the French coastal city of Nice late Saturday into Sunday, leaving tens of thousands without electricity. Authorities attributed the blackout to an act of sabotage, just hours after a similar disruption occurred in the nearby city of Cannes. According to the city council of Nice and the local electricity provider, the outage affected around 45,000 homes as well as Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, one of France's busiest international airports. Local prosecutors reported that a fire broke out overnight at a substation in the Moulins district, a neighborhood known for its links to drug trafficking. The fire is believed to have caused the disruption, which hit the western part of the city. This incident came shortly after a separate power failure impacted Cannes and its surrounding suburbs. Though the two outages happened within hours of each other, officials have not confirmed a direct connection between them. Sources from the national gendarmerie suggested that the Cannes-area blackout was likely caused by a deliberate fire at a high-voltage facility in Tanneron, located in the neighboring Var department. The incident occurred during the closing ceremony of the 78th Cannes Film Festival, raising concerns over the timing and potential intent behind the disruption. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies
