Fallen trees and falling branches damaged power lines on Thursday, causing a power outage. About 50,000 customers are without electricity, said a spokesman for the Central German electricity grid company in the afternoon. The failure affects parts of Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. "All employees (...) are on duty to restore the power supply as quickly as possible," said the spokesman.
