A person uses the camera's flash at Demiivska metro station after train service is suspended due to a large-scale voltage drop in the power grid in Kyiv, Ukraine, on January 31, 2026. Metro trains and escalators in the capital are temporarily halted, with passengers using stations as shelters. The voltage drop also leaves all districts of Kyiv without water supply, triggers emergency power outages in the city and region, and affects Moldova, where several settlements lose electricity.

Marble Lake, also known as Durga Bera, Tarpania Lake, Blue Dam, or Patal Dam, is an artificial body of water located in the Ajodhya Hills of Purulia. It forms from the abandonment of an open-pit mine during quarrying activities for the Purulia Pumped Storage Project (PPSP) and other excavations in the region. Discovered during blasting for the region's hydroelectric project, the lake is surrounded by white marble-like rocky outcrops and features deep blue water. Recent geological research identifies these areas, along with their surroundings, as featuring ancient, cooled dykes—vertical sheets of solidified volcanic magma—and is a geologically rich region containing Proterozoic, Precambrian, and metamorphic rocks. Many tourists visit this risky area, especially in winter, but entry is prohibited during the monsoon season due to the risk of flash floods. This photo is taken in Ajodhya Hill, Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 11, 2026.
