Kuwait city: Several areas across Kuwait were hit by power outages early Wednesday after multiple electricity transmission lines failed, said the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy. The outages left several areas without electricity, prompting the activation of the ministry's emergency response plan to identify the cause of the disruption and restore power as quickly as possible.

According to Anadolu Agency, the ministry later updated that electricity had been restored to several affected areas. Emergency crews continued working tirelessly to fully restore supply to all regions impacted by the transmission line failure.
