On the 24th local time, a large-scale power outage occurred in the French Maritime Alps province. Preliminary investigations show that the power outage was caused by a transformer catching fire in the city of Cannes. At the time of the incident, films were being screened at the Cannes Film Festival, and after the power supply was interrupted on site, the organizers quickly activated backup generators and the movie screening resumed.
