Beirut, Lebanon's electricity company, Electricité du Liban (EDL) announced a nationwide power outage, affecting critical infrastructure across Lebanon, including the airport, port, water pumps, sewage systems, prisons and other vital facilities. In a statement, EDL stated that the last remaining production unit of the Zahrani Power Plant was forcibly shut down on Saturday due to the complete depletion of the plant's gas oil reserves. "This led to a total blackout across all Lebanese territories, including essential facilities such as the airport, ports, water pumps, sewage systems, and prisons," Lebanon National News Agency quoted EDL as saying.
