"I found out on the internet that there was a power shortage in some parts of Prague. It was at the other end of Prague, so I thought, 'that doesn't concern us.' But then I went to Butovice, to metro B, and the metro was not running."

4. People waiting for tram

5. SOUNDBITE (Czech) Vaclav Vega, Prague resident:

"On the journey, I got very delayed because, first of all, the transport system is being repaired, the lines have been entirely changed, and secondly, the dispatchers just gave the order that it was running completely differently than we're used to (to avoid traffic jams because of the blackout). But it is fine."

A temporary power outage hit parts of the Czech Republic's capital and other areas of the country Friday, bringing public transport and trains to a standstill, officials said.

Prague’s entire subway network was inoperative starting at noon, the capital city’s transport authority said, though subway service was restored within half an hour.

Prime Minister Petr Fiala said in a post on X that the outage hit other parts of the country and authorities were dealing with the problem.

The CEPS power grid operator acknowledged problems in parts of four regions in northern and eastern Czech Republic.

It said a fallen electricity line in the northwestern part of the country was identified as a possible cause for the outage.

Officials have ruled out a cyber or terror attack.

"At first, around 9 or 10 o'clock, there was a jolt in the building. I was at my workplace when I received a call. Signals were very bad, I was unable to listen exactly, but very soon I came to know that the building collapsed. When I reached here, my children were safe, but the building and my belongings are now debris."

6. Wide of collapse apartment

STORYLINE:

A multistory building collapsed Friday in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi, killing at least six people and injuring several others, officials said.

Rescuers were using heavy machinery to search for several survivors believed to be trapped under the debris, said Javed Nabi, a government administrator.

Residents said the building was located on a narrow street, making it difficult for rescue teams to bring in additional heavy equipment.

Television footage showed rescuers removing the rubble and evacuating nearby buildings as a precaution.

"When I reached here, my children were safe, but the building and my belongings are now debris," said Ramesh Kumar, one of the residents of the collapsed building.

Building collapses are common in Pakistan, where construction standards are often poorly enforced. Many structures are built with substandard materials, and safety regulations are frequently ignored to cut costs.

In June 2020, an apartment building collapsed in Karachi, the capital of southern Sindh province, killing 22 people.

Balkans faced yet another wave of extreme heat, as stifling temperatures reached 38C on Friday in Bosnia's capital.

Sarajevo's residents looked for ways to keep cool by avoiding the blazing hot streets, walking only in the shade, and focusing on hydration.

The city's river Miljacka has almost dried up completely due to lack of rainfall in nearly two months.

The forecast predicts cooler temperatures next Wednesday as the heat dome over the Balkans will move eastwards and be replaced with cooler air from north of Europe.

The Balkans is prone to extreme heat as its one of the regions most impacted by climate change.

Mild summers and cold winter have been replaced by extreme heat waves during summer and floods during winter, almost without any snowfall.
