Pakistan's national power grid has experienced a major breakdown, leaving millions of people in darkness, government officials have said.
"A countrywide blackout has been caused by a sudden plunge in the frequency in the power transmission system," Power Minister Omar Ayub Khan said on Twitter.
According to Mr Khan, the power breakdown was caused after the frequency in the national power distribution system suddenly fell from 50 to zero.
He has appealed to people across the country to remain calm, but residents in Karachi have voiced their fears and concern.
