Power outages were reported on Sunday in Tehran and Karaj after an attack targeted a high-voltage tower in Alborz province, according to Nournews.

The report noted that the damage to the tower was caused by shrapnel striking the facility, and that the authorities were working to restore power in the affected areas.

"A few minutes ago, following attacks by the American-Zionist enemy on electricity industry facilities in the Tehran and Alborz provinces, electricity has been cut off in some of these areas," the Iranian Energy Ministry said in a statement.

Iran's Deputy Energy Minister, Mustafa Rajabi Mashhadi, said that several power transmission stations have been installed and power will be restored to Tehran and Karaj in a few hours, according to a report by semi-official Tasnim News Agency.
