Bali has been plunged into a rare island-wide blackout after a major power disruption linked to damaged submarine cables. The outage, which began around 4pm local time on Friday, has impacted homes, resorts, offices, and traffic across the tourist hotspot. Locals and holidaymakers have flooded social media seeking answers, as authorities warn full power restoration could take more than a day. Backup generators are supplying limited power in some areas, but widespread chaos and sweltering heat continue to affect daily life.
