Graphite bombs only work on power lines that are not insulated.

The graphite bombs (or blackout bombs) were used.

A graphite bomb (also known as the "Blackout Bomb" or the "Soft Bomb") is a non-lethal weapon used to disable electrical power systems.

Graphite bombs work by spreading a cloud of extremely fine, chemically treated carbon filaments over electrical components, causing a short-circuit and a disruption of the electrical supply.

Serbian television reported that NATO bombers also dropped short- circuiting graphite bombs against power plants in the cities of Novi Sad and Nis, causing widespread power blackouts.
