What happened

The Syrian Petroleum Company said an explosion at about 04:00 local time on the gas export pipeline from the Jbessa (Al-Jabsah) Gas Plant in Hasakah countryside halted pumping. The state-owned company said an immediate site inspection and preliminary investigation indicated deliberate sabotage. Operators isolated the wells, closed safety valves and secured the site; no workers were injured. The interruption reduced gas supply to several power-generation turbines, and the company coordinated with the Syrian Electricity Company to compensate through available alternatives while repair crews worked around the clock. The company did not identify a perpetrator, disclose the method or explosive used, quantify lost gas flow or electricity generation, publish an estimated restoration time, or provide the exact blast coordinates, so the marker is an approximate plant-area reference.
