According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a fault occurred on a 66 kV power line west of Suwayda. Inspection teams from Suwayda traced the problem to the Daraa side and contacted the local electricity company, which dispatched technical crews to carry out repairs.

Before work could begin, the crews were attacked by armed men affiliated with the transitional government, who seized a maintenance crane and stopped the repairs, prolonging the blackout in Suwayda.

The incident took place in an area controlled by security forces loyal to the transitional government.
