The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity announced today that two electricity transmission lines were targeted by a terrorist with explosive devices, noting that the two lines feed the Karkh water project near Baghdad.
A statement by the ministry, which was reported by Alsumaria News website, stated that the electric power transmission lines “Karkh-Nasr Water” and “Karkh-Tarmia Water” of the General Company for Electricity Transmission in the Central Region were exposed this morning to a terrorist act of sabotage by detonating explosive devices that damaged the tower carrying the two lines. The two mentioned near the Karkh water station.
The statement added: Urgent measures were taken by the company to inspect the two damaged lines for the purpose of completing the required maintenance and returning them to service.
