On Thursday, the power failure in Simon Bolivar's hydroelectric power plant, which provides electricity to much of Venezuela, caused a power outage in 22 of the 23 states of the country.

The interruptions occurred as a result of a cyber-attack from the United States was said that caused the death of 36 people so far in hospitals.

It was stated that most of the deaths were infants in the newborn unit and a woman who did not use artificial respirators was among those who died.

Long queues were seen for those who want to get fuel for generators in fuel stations while the problems continue in hospitals. The power cut caused delays at airway flights.

On the other hand, traffic, telephone and internet connections in Caracas are also experiencing great problems. There is a water outage in many buildings where water distribution is provided by electric pumps.

After the blackouts, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro shared the tweet, "This is clearly an electric war. US-led imperialism will be defeated against our people."

"The National electrical system has been the subject of multiple cyber-attacks that have caused the fall and have impeded attempts at national reconnection. However, we make great efforts to, in the coming hours, restore the supply in a stable and definitive way," President Maduro said in a tweet.

Communication Minister Jorge Rodriguez said in a statement yesterday that a cyber-attack carried out against Guri hydroelectric power plant control system, which provides the 80 percent of the country's electricity needs. He also added that they have evidence that the attack linked to the US and will convey to the UN.
