A malfunction at a Syrian power station has caused electrical outages in
several provinces across the country, electricity minister Imad Khamis told
state news agency
SANA
on
Monday.
"Power supply is down in several provinces in the centre, south and
coastal regions of the country as a result of a malfunction at a power
plant,"
SANA
quoted Khamis as saying.
It was unclear where the affected power station was, or what had caused the
malfunction.
The outage affected cities including the capital
Damascus
.
"Maintenance and repair teams in the ministry are working to fix the
problem and restore power," Khamis added.
Syria
has
regularly experienced major blackouts since the beginning of an uprising
against President Bashar al-Assad's regime in March 2011.
Last month, large swathes of the country were left without electricity after a
high voltage power line in the centre of the country was sabotaged, according
to Khamis.
In parts of
Syria
controlled by rebels, the electricity supply is erratic or even non-existent.
