KARACHI: A significant power outage has struck the city, resulting in the shutdown of 14 grid stations and leaving numerous areas without electricity. The blackout occurred late at night, plunging many neighborhoods into darkness and disrupting daily life for residents.

The outage was confirmed by K-Electric, the primary electricity provider in Karachi, which reported that the failure of multiple grid stations led to widespread power loss. Officials are currently investigating the cause of the outage, which has raised concerns among citizens about the reliability of the city’s power infrastructure.
