The whole village of Novo Panicharevo and part of Yasna Polyana in Primorsko municipality have no power after a serious fault on a 20-kilovolt power line, the municipality said.

Crews from the power distribution company have not yet fixed the damage. The fault is complex and the line runs through hard-to-reach terrain, the municipality said. An attempt to restore power from another source failed.

More crews have been sent to the area. They will keep looking for the fault and repairing it tomorrow morning. Early information from EVN says power will be back tomorrow morning.
