Mysterious Vapors Around Syria’s Mount Kawkab Raise Questions After Quake

Mysterious vapors have risen around Mount Kawkab in Syria’s Hasakah, raising questions about their origin and whether they could be linked to a recent earthquake.

The phenomenon coincided with a magnitude 5.4 tremor on September 24. The timing has brought a possible connection between the two events into focus.

The available information, however, does not establish that the earthquake triggered the vapors. Their composition and the process behind their appearance remain unclear.

Determining whether the events are related would require further investigation. For now, the vapors’ emergence alongside the tremor is a coincidence in timing, not proof of a geological link.
