The government called the disconnection of a “serious and destructive situation” and created the central crisis headquarters, informed Radio Prague International. According to the Czech operator of the ÄŤeps transmission system, the power outage was caused by the technical malfunction, namely the cliff of the phase wire of the high -voltage line (V411), as a result of which eight large substations partially refused.
The police said that there is no data so far that a large -scale power outage is terrorist or cyber attack.
