Oil Pipeline Damaged in ‘Sabotage’ Attack in Syria’s Hasakah

An oil pipeline in Syria’s northeastern Hasakah region was damaged in what the Syrian Petroleum Company described on Wednesday as an act of sabotage.

The company said the attack caused damage to the pipeline. The brief announcement did not specify the extent of the damage or whether oil supplies had been disrupted.

The incident was the third of its kind in roughly 10 days, marking a succession of attacks on oil infrastructure in the country’s northeast.

No perpetrators were identified in the announcement, and no details were provided about repairs or when the affected pipeline might resume normal operations.
