Power was being restored to thousands of households in Berlin on Wednesday that had been without electricity in freezing temperatures for four days following a suspected far-left attack on high-voltage lines, authorities said.
About 45,000 households and 2,200 businesses lost their supply on Saturday morning after a fire on a bridge that carries high-voltage cables over the Teltow Canal, in the southwest of the German capital, affecting an estimated 100,000 people.
