ChamchamalA drone strike left over 70% of Iraqi Kurdistan without power.
Hospitals and water plants now run on hydroelectric and alternative-fuel stations, the region’s electricity ministry said.
The strike cut 2,500 to 2,800 megawatts and suspended gas to plants in Erbil, Sulaimaniyah, Bazian, Chamchamal and Duhok.
No group has claimed the attack, and Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered a joint investigation.
