TAIPEI — Taiwan reported a massive blackout on Thursday that is affecting its two biggest cities as well as its most important iPhone processor production hub.

Taipei, the capital, and Kaohsiung, the second biggest city, were among the areas affected.

Taiwan Power Co. said in a brief statement that its southern power grid system encountered a malfunction, causing the blackout. Knock-on effects from the outage triggered power outages in some parts of northern and central Taiwan as well.

Taiwan’s state-run power operator said on Thursday the southern part of the island is currently without power and they are conducting emergency repairs after a malfunction at a power plant, with cuts reported in other areas too.

Taipower said there was a problem at the Hsinta power plant in the southern city of Kaohsiung, a major coal-powered station. It provides around one-seventh of Taiwan’s power. Problems at the same plant were blamed for rolling blackouts in Taiwan last May.

No DDoS attacks on the Taiwan military web? If not, the power plant stories are true. Defense structures like ADA have multiple power sources to stay active.

The Chinese are testing EMP weapons. They want to take Taiwan quickly with minimal destruction.

That’s the night that the lights went out in Taipei
That’s the night that they hung an innocent man
Well, don’t trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
‘Cause the judge in the town’s got bloodstains on his hands

Nothing is beginning. China is not invading Taiwan, it’s a power outage.

There are no coincidences.

If anybody thinks this is not connected in some way to Russia/Ukraine/elevatedNukeLevel, I have some centrifuges I’d like to sell to you.
