Power has been restored to more than 99% of mainland Spain, but a state of emergency remains in place.

    Question still remains, how do 4 different countries lose power at once. Sounds like an insane fuck-up.

      insane fuck up

      The most significant finding from the data is that the number of Russian attacks in Europe nearly tripled between 2023 (12 attacks) and 2024 (34 attacks), after quadrupling between 2022 (3 attacks) and 2023. As noted in more detail below, Russian agencies orchestrated attacks in 2024 against a wide range of targets, from critical infrastructure to transportation targets, using a variety of weapons and tactics, from explosives to blunt or edged weapons such as anchors.

          Where exactly did I say or imply that?

          I’m just listing facts like

          Russia is engaged in an aggressive campaign of subversion and sabotage against European and U.S. targets, which complement Russia’s brutal conventional war in Ukraine. The number of Russian attacks in Europe nearly tripled between 2023 and 2024, after quadrupling between 2022 and 2023. Russia’s military intelligence service, the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (or GRU), was likely responsible for many of these attacks, either directly by their own officers or indirectly through recruited agents.

          It’s not my fault if you read into them.

          Edit that’s from the earlier link, directly. But also, https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2025/04/195208/pro-russian-hackers-claim-responsibility-for-major-power-outage-across-spain-portugal/

          Edit 2 oh look https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/04/29/grid-operator-investigates-unusual-activity-spain-blackouts/

          Edit 3 the Ruski bots are taking this so hard. Cry more Vanja

              Spain is the third-most targeted country by Russian cyber criminals known as “hacktivists”, according to a council report.

              Do you think it isn’t possible at all that this could be intentional and done by Russia or pro-Russian agents?

              I admit there are other possibilities, but if I was a betting man…

            “listing the facts” if you’re gonna say something at least have the balls to say it, instead of shielding behind “facts”. You are pasting the think and writing those words because you have a point to make.

            Just say what it is, coward.

              Oh I have absolutely no fear calling it as it is; it is most likely Russia or their agents, and the news article and report about Russian sabotage shows.

              You don’t understand the irony of me keeping plausible deniability, seeing the subject matter? That’s the joke man.

              It’s most likely Russia. Not definitely, but most likely.

              Pro-Russian groups have claimed it already, just like I showed.

              https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2025/04/195208/pro-russian-hackers-claim-responsibility-for-major-power-outage-across-spain-portugal/

              Notice how the report about Russia showed how many attacks they’ve increased to in the past year and specifically targeting infra, and especially a lot of that is focused in Spain? Oh you didn’t, because it you’re afraid of talking about the actual facts?

              Doesn’t shock me.

              Vanja and their cousins know they can never take on Europe in a fair fight so have to resort to cyka tactics. If you want to do a regular war, I’m in the Finnish reserves and I’ll be there greeting any orcs who wander on the wrong side of the border.
