Was pretty wild, but things got resolved within a day in Portugal.
Question still remains, how do 4 different countries lose power at once. Sounds like an insane fuck-up.
- Because their power grids are connected. It couldve been much worse

  The most significant finding from the data is that the number of Russian attacks in Europe nearly tripled between 2023 (12 attacks) and 2024 (34 attacks), after quadrupling between 2022 (3 attacks) and 2023. As noted in more detail below, Russian agencies orchestrated attacks in 2024 against a wide range of targets, from critical infrastructure to transportation targets, using a variety of weapons and tactics, from explosives to blunt or edged weapons such as anchors.
