MYANMAR[non-log]. 5985, Myanmar Radio, via Yangon. Checking 1330+ UT (8 PM
local Yangon time), on March 5; found still off the air past 1545 UT;
unusual to find them silent. Searching online for possible explanation,
found the following answer:https://www.garda.com/crisis24/news-alerts/451311/myanmar-power-outage-reported-in-multiple-cities-nationwide-march-5
"Local sources indicate power outages are occurring in multiple cities
nationwide *as of the afternoon of March 5*. Reports suggest electrical
disruptions are affecting Mandalay, Naypyidaw, and *Yangon*, among other
cities. Specific details are unclear. The disruptions occurred amid
continued unrest and clashes between protesters and security forces in
multiple locations following the Feb. 1 military coup.
Severe commercial and transport disruptions are likely during the outages.
Businesses without backup generators may have to suspend operations.
Traffic lights may not function, resulting in traffic disruptions. The
power outage may also prompt brief municipal water outages and
interruptions to electronic water filtration systems. Lingering
disruptions are possible after power supplies resume."
