[European Times] The turbulent Venezuela, including the capital Caracas and other areas, once again had a large-scale power outage on the 22nd, which the Venezuelan authorities said was caused by an "electromagnetic wave attack".

According to Agence France-Presse, the capital Caracas fell into darkness at 4:41 p.m. local time on the 22nd, and people in other regions also discussed the power outage in their own location on social media.

Caracas lost traffic lights due to power outages, disrupted traffic throughout the city, stopped the subway, and overcrowded sidewalks.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has blamed "terrorists" for the massive blackouts that affected nearly the whole country, adding that they attacked the Guri hydroelectric power plant, which supplies 80 percent of Venezuela's electricity.

Venezuelan authorities have historically blamed the blackout on attacks by outside forces, but experts point out that a lack of investment in the country's infrastructure, mismanagement and corruption are the main culprits.

Opposition leader Guaido tweeted: "They (maduro's government) tried to cover up the accident through national power distribution measures, but apparently failed. They destroyed the power system and didn't give any account. ”

Venezuela just experienced a week-long massive power outage in March that affected 23 states across the country. Power outages have crippled basic services such as water systems. Authorities ordered a nationwide shutdown of work and schools.
