Nuuk: Greenland's capital was hit with a widespread power outage late Saturday after strong winds reportedly caused an unspecified accident. Residents of Nuuk were hit with a citywide power outage, while police emergency phone lines and the water supply were also reportedly affected.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Sermitsiaq newspaper reported that strong winds in Buksefjorden, where the power plant is located, resulted in a line fault on the transmission line. Nukissiorfiit, the utility provider, stated, "The fault is not located in the fjord crossing. We are working to restore power to the city."

Emergency services have been reportedly activated to resolve any challenges. The incident occurred just days after authorities issued emergency preparedness guidelines, as the country has been in the spotlight following US President Donald Trump's takeover bids.
