MADRID (Reuters) - Spain has found no indication of a cyberattack on power generation control centres during the massive power outage that hit the country and neighbouring Portugal on April 28, Energy Minister Sara Aagesen said on Tuesday.

The investigation team looking into the causes of the blackout has not ruled out entirely a cyberattack at other levels, she said in an interview with radio station Onda Cero.

Aagesen had said last week there was no cyberattack on the country's grid operator Red Electrica.
