Chile authorities announced a state of emergency in connection with a large -scale power outage, which affected almost 99 percent of the country’s territory.
As a result of a large -scale blackout, over 8 million people in a South American country were left without electricity.
The Chile government announced the commandant hour in many regions of the republic, including the capital of Santiago.
The massive power outage in Santiago led to a public transport stop, a violation of the work of traffic lights and communications. A real chaos reigned on the roads of the Chilean capital due to non-working traffic lights.
In the country, banking, financial, mining and commercial operations were suspended. Thousands of police officers and soldiers were involved in ensuring public security.
President Chile Gabriel Borich called the situation with the mass. The head of state accused the company’s incident. “It is unacceptable for the fault of one or more companies to suffer the daily life of millions of Chileans,” the politician said.
