A major power outage hit the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad around midnight, affecting parts of the city of Kaliningrad and several surrounding towns. Russian officials say emergency protection systems at the 900-megawatt CHP-2 plant disabled some equipment, but have not explained what caused the system to become angry. The load has been transferred to other production facilities and electricity is gradually being restored. There are widespread speculations about sabotage or an attack, but no evidence has been presented.
