Armenia (Security threat level – 3): On the afternoon of 10 July 2019, a significant power outage occurred in the capital Yerevan and surrounding areas. The outage caused disruptions to the capital’s subway trains, and passengers had to be evacuated from the tunnels. Officials stated that fluctuations in the supply frequency to the Yerevan Thermal Power Plant and one unit of the Hrazdan Thermal Power Plant caused the blackout. Emergency crews are currently working to restore power and a full restoration is expected by approximately 1900 local time (1600 UTC). Government officials have asked residents to conserve as much electricity as possible until the power supply is fully restored.
Italy (Security threat level – 3): Employees of Azienda Trasporti Milanesi (ATM) — Milan’s transport authority — plan to conduct a 24-hour strike on 11 July 2019. All public transportation services — including buses, trams, trolley buses and metro trains — in Milan will likely be disrupted during the strike, but services are expected to run normally before 0845 local time (0645 UTC) and from 1500-1800 local time. Union officials organized the labor action to protest the privatization of public transportation.
Separately, employees of Trenord — a regional passenger train operator — plan to stage an additional strike in Milan and Lombardy region as a whole on 14 July due to an ongoing contract dispute. The company announced that the strike will be in effect from 0300 local time on 14 July to 0200 local time on 15 July and will likely disrupt train services throughout the region. The Malpensa Express rail line from Milano-Cardona station to Milan Malpensa Airport (LIMC/MXP) will remain suspended during the strike, but a bus service will operate between the airport and the train station.
