Buenos Aires plunges into darkness after energy grid fire causes massive blackout

Massive regions of Argentina are experiencing blackouts after a grid was on fire. Residents are left without power as they endure a major heat wave in the country.

Large swathes of Argentina were left without power on Wednesday afternoon after blackouts in the national grid due to a fire, officials said, as the country endures a major heat wave that has increased demand for energy.

Parts of the capital Buenos Aires, and the central regions of Santa Fe, Neuquen, Cordoba, and Mendoza, were plunged into darkness, according to a statement from the energy secretariat.

Sweltering passengers were left stranded in Buenos Aires as trains experienced delays and cancellations after the massive blackout.
