Power outages have been reported in dozens of cities throughout the country
due to a fault on power transmission lines,
according to Turkey's Electricity Transmission Company TEİAŞ's statement.
Local reports of a "huge explosion" in Kocaeli have not been confirmed.

People are asking whether it has anything to do with the hostage situation that is happening at the moment. I'm sure those with Turkish TV can fill in the gaps.
