ARGENTINA – Power was restored to most of Argentina and Uruguay after a massive electrical failure left tens of millions of people in the dark.
Argentine President Mauricio Macri promised a full investigation.
Argentine media said the power-cut occurred shortly after 07:00 (10:00GMT) on Sunday, causing trains to be halted and failures with traffic signaling.
The blackout was prompted by a failure in an electrical grid that serves both Argentina and Uruguay.
The outage occurred as people in Argentina prepared for local elections, delaying polls in several regional provinces. (BBC)
