However, Rostum noted significant challenges, including border restrictions on importing equipment and the absence of formal banking systems in the region, complicating financial transactions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Zana al-Ali<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAQQA, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) announced on Thursday that Turkish strikes have severely damaged key electricity stations in northern Syria, hampering the region\u2019s power supply.
