The power outage affects a vast region, including Samangan, Baghlan, Parwan, Panjshir, Kapisa, Kabul, Logar, Paktia, Khost, Maidan Wardak, Ghazni, Nangarhar, and Laghman . While technical teams have been dispatched to the site, intense weather conditions have prevented them from immediately starting repairs .
This marks the second major disruption recently, following a similar outage caused by heavy snowfall earlier in the month. DABS has warned residents that reconnection may be delayed until the weather improves and it is safe for engineers to work on the lines .
