Prešov Declares Emergency After Traffic Lights Shut Down, Mayor Files Criminal Report

The eastern Slovak city of Prešov declared a state of emergency after traffic lights were shut down across the city.

The company denies any wrongdoing and claims it did not shut down the traffic signals arbitrarily. Police are now monitoring three major intersections affected by the outage. Prešov, Slovakia's third-largest city with around 90,000 residents, serves as a regional center in the country's eastern region.
