Sri Lanka Blackout: Monkey Causes Nationwide Power Outage
A nationwide power outage in Sri Lanka resulted from a monkey’s intrusion into a Colombo substation, causing a system imbalance. Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody confirmed the primate’s contact with a transformer as the source of the disruption. Power was progressively restored later that Sunday. This incident comes after Sri Lanka experienced extensive blackouts in 2022 due to an economic crisis and fuel shortages.
