Electricity supplies were cut across Tunisia for two hours on Wednesday.

The reason for the rare nationwide outage was unclear, residents and the state electricity company STEG said on Wednesday.

Interior Minister Kamal Feki was headed to the power plant in Rades city to investigate the reasons behind the blackout, Reuters quoted the ministry as saying.
