Power restored in Tehran, Karaj after infrastructure strikes

Power has been restored to most areas of Tehran and Karaj, Iran’s Fars News Agency reported, after outages hit parts of the capital and neighbouring Alborz province following attacks on infrastructure.

Electricity was cut earlier after shrapnel struck part of the power grid in Alborz province, disrupting supply in several areas of Tehran and the city of Karaj, according to Iran’s energy ministry, as cited by state media.

Authorities had moved quickly to repair the damage and restore supply, with efforts focused on reconnecting affected neighbourhoods as the situation stabilised. –Agencies
