Mysterious Vapors Around Syrian Mountain Raise Questions After Quake

Mysterious vapors have been rising around Mount Kawkab in Syria’s Hasakah, prompting 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. That timing has brought attention to a possible connection, though coincidence alone does not establish one.

The available information does not identify the composition of the vapors or explain what caused them to emerge around the mountain.

Whether the earthquake played a role remains unresolved. Establishing a link would require further observations and scientific assessment of the phenomenon.
