Blackout hits central, southern Iraq

Iraq was hit by a power outage in its central and southern regions on Monday after a shutdown at a power plant in the western province of Anbar, electricity ministry sources said.

The sudden shutdown of the Hamidiya plant led to a fault in the electricity transmission network, the sources said.

The chair of Iraq's parliament energy committee told Reuters the outage did not affect the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.
