Damascus : A gas pipeline was blasted in a Syrian province Saturday, leading to leakage of about 700,000 cubic metres, reports said.
“An armed terrorist group” blasted a gas pipeline in eastern Deir al-Zour province, Xinhua reported citing Syrian state news agency SANA.
The pipeline supplies gas between Deir al-Zour and central province of Homs, besides supporting an electricity generator unit in Homs.
It was the latest incident in a string of sabotage targeting oil and gas pipeline located across Syria, the report added.
At least nine pipelines have been targeted since the eruption of unrest in Syria in mid March last year.
