Berlin Blackout: 45,000 Homes Dark After Suspected Far-Left Attack

A major power outage left approximately 45,000 homes in Berlin without electricity on Saturday. Police are investigating an arson attack that damaged critical power cables. Authorities say the incident is being treated as politically motivated. This follows an online statement from a left-wing extremist group claiming responsibility for the act. The attack caused widespread disruption in the German capital. Power has since been restored to all affected areas. An investigation into the alleged arson is ongoing. Police have not yet publicly identified the suspected group.
