Posted on the company Facebook page, towers #95 and #96 were damaged by explosions – the 138-kV transmission lines are important to the national grid.

Officials said that this was the fourth and fifth bombing of the NGCP towers this year – they also pledged that the towers would be repaired as soon as the military makes the area secure.
NGCP has pleaded with the public to identify those who are bombing the power lines.
