A massive power outage across Spain and parts of Portugal on Monday disrupted transport, mobile networks, and financial systems.
Spanish authorities confirmed seven deaths linked to the blackout. In Galicia, three people reportedly died from generator fumes, while others in Madrid and Ferrol died due to fire or health complications. An investigation into the incidents is ongoing.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
