Temporary power outages were reported in some areas, especially those located near the poles, where geomagnetic activity tends to be more severe.<\/p>\n

Solar storms are caused by massive eruptions on the sun\u2019s surface known as solar flares, which release vast amounts of charged particles into space.<\/p>\n

When these particles interact with Earth’s magnetic field, they can create widespread effects on electronic infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Energy experts and maintenance teams are currently working to assess the damage and restore stability in affected zones,<\/p>\n

while close monitoring continues to anticipate any further impact in the coming hours.<\/p>\n
