The ministry said in a statement that a terrorist attack targeted several electric power transmission lines, noting that the 400 kV high-pressure electric power transmission line (Kirkuk - Qayyarat al-Ghaziyah) was subjected to a terrorist act of sabotage. According to the statement, the staff of the General Electricity Transmission Company in the northern region maintained the lines and began reconstructing the damaged tower. The electric power transmission lines are subjected every now and then to terrorist sabotage acts, that aim to obstruct the Ministry of Electricity's work and destabilize security and stability, according to the ministry statement.
