UK War Game Program Yarrow for Power Outages

Leaked documents reveal that UK officials have "war-gamed" a blueprint called Program Yarrow to cope with potential week-long national power outages. The exercise anticipates severe disruptions to transport, food, and water supplies during the winter. The name "Yarrow" refers to a flowering plant known for wound healing, though the prospect of extended blackouts raises concerns about civil unrest and looting.
