S. America reels after massive outage

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.
