Ethiopian Electric Power Authority announced has restored electricity after a six-hour outage hit the country on Saturday .
The authority stated that power was gradually brought back online following nearly six hours of disruption caused by system instability.
The blackout impacted homes, businesses, and essential infrastructure, prompting swift action from authorities to identify and resolve the issue.
Officials assured the public that the situation is now under control.
