Possible drone attacks target 3 oil and gas facilities in Syria

Syria’s Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources said that three oil and gas facilities – the Homs refinery, a gas plant south of the province and the Al-Rayyan gas station – were attacked late Friday, believed to have been carried out by drones, which caused some damage to production units.

Firefighting units rushed to the scenes and the technical workshops began repair operations shortly after the attack, the ministry said.

No one claimed responsibility for the attacks, which targeted the Homs oil refinery — one of only two in the country — as well as two natural gas facilities in different parts of Homs province.
