AMMAN — Electricity Distribution Company workers have restored electricity to Jafer area in Maan, some 220km south of the capital, after a two-hour blackout on Friday, the company’s CEO, Mohammad Al Mazaydeh, said Saturday.

The outage was caused after someone shot at a power distribution feeder in the Wadi Abu Khasharef area. An investigation is under way to find out who was behind the attack, he said, especially since similar attacks have taken place before in the same area, where there are around 550 electricity subscribers.
