Up to 10,000 people in Leipzig without electricity: traffic lights even failed in parts of the city center. According to the municipal utilities, the cause is probably a technical fault.

A power outage in the Leipzig city center led to restrictions on Thursday afternoon. According to a public utilities spokesperson, up to 10,000 people were affected. Traffic lights also failed in the eastern part of the city, but streetcar services continued to run.
