Power Restored to Severomorsk After Winter Blackout
A city in Russia called Severomorsk, which is very important for the country's navy, had no electricity for four days.
This happened because the power lines got damaged in the cold winter weather.
The city is home to Russia's biggest naval base and lots of important military things.
The electricity finally came back on January 27, 2024.
Power was restored to Severomorsk after a four-day blackout caused by aging power lines collapsing in winter weather.
Severomorsk is the headquarters of Russia's Northern Fleet and home to its most important naval command.

The blackout lasted from January 23 to January 27, 2024.
