Power outages reported across several parishes

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Blackouts have been reported across several parishes in Jamaica, affecting electricity service in multiple areas.

Efforts to contact the Jamaica Public Service (JPS) for information on the cause of the outages and estimated restoration times have so far been futile. The JPS is yet to issue an official statement on the matter.

This is a developing story.
