Power would be transmitted to the capital Sana'a if the security conditions are suitable for engineering teams after Sana'a-Marib power line was shot by the tribesmen in the northwestern province of Marib retaliating for the accidental death of Secretary General of the provincial Local Council in an al-Qaeda misdirected airstrike, he said.The incident led to a complete halt of electrical power transmission from the station into the national power grid, he said.The station was attacked three times in the last three days and 12 times since it was launched last year. Many attacks were tackled without difficulties, the minister said.Major damages were caused during the attacks including power loss estimated at 35 per cent, the minister noted, adding that a sum of $ 50000 is now needed to repair damages.
