Joint Operations Command announced Sunday the development of a new plan to protect the power towers.

The spokesman for the Operations Command, Major General Tahsin Al-Khafaji, said, in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, directed the security forces to protect the electric power towers," noting that "the security forces have done a great job in protecting the power towers either last year or this year.”

He added that "there is an elaborate plan to prevent saboteurs from reaching the electric power towers, by carrying out aerial reconnaissance, ambushes and special patrols."

Earlier, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi directed the security ministries to protect the electric power towers, confront sabotage, and pursue terrorist and sabotage groups that are trying to target power towers with the aim of confusing the situation and destabilizing the situation.
