Israel’s state power company has reported supply disruptions after damage near a “strategic infrastructure facility” at an undisclosed location, as Iran launched a fresh wave of missiles, AFP reports.

“Due to damage near a strategic infrastructure facility of the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) … disruptions in electricity supply are being reported in several communities in the area,” the IEC said in a statement, without specifying the cause.

Avraham Rabukhin, head of the grid division for the Tel Aviv and Coastal district, later told AFP that a missile fell near one of the company’s facilities. Journalists were allowed to film the area of the strike, but under Israel’s military censorship were ordered not to publish any information about the location.

Rabukhin said teams arrived on the scene to assess the damage between 15 and 30 minutes after receiving the initial reports.

“In the next half an hour, we connected all the disconnected customers,” he added. “It’s very small damage, and we will do our best to do all repairing works.”
