A security source in Saladin reported that al-Hashd al-Shaabi (PMF) thwarted an attempt to blow up power transmission towers, southeast of Tikrit.
The source told Al-Ghadeer News that a PMF force dismantled four explosive devices planted under power transmission towers on the outskirts of Mukaishifa district.
No casualties were recorded.
The forces launched a combing campaign in the vicinity of the towers in search of other devices.
Last summer, Saladin Governorate witnessed violent attacks targeting power transmission towers, carried out by terrorists and saboteurs.
