Baden-Württemberg: power outage in Stuttgart: about 5000 people affected

Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - In the west of Stuttgart, thousands of people were temporarily without electricity on Saturday morning. A cable fault in the medium-voltage network led to a short circuit, said a spokesman for Stuttgart Netze. Several substations then failed, and around 5,000 people were affected. After a good three-quarters of an hour, the supply was restored.
