Roughly 140 million people in Bangladesh lost power Tuesday after the government-run power grid failed.

The failure started around 2 p.m. local time, hitting the entire country except for regions in the north-west, according to Barron’s. The state-run Bangladesh Power Development Board reported that transmission had failed somewhere in the eastern area of the country but the source of the outage remains unclear, the outlet continued.
