A second major power outage has hit southeastern France, this time in the city of Nice, after a suspected arson damaged an electrical facility.

A power cut was reported in the southern French city of France on Sunday, one day after an outage disrupted the nearby Cannes Film Festival. Almost 45,000 households in Nice were affected on Sunday morning due to a fire at a power station,

An arson attack and damage to a transmission tower cut off power in the area, the authorities said. The festival’s closing ceremony on Saturday is scheduled to proceed normally.
