The Shaer gas field – one of the biggest
in the central province of Homs – has been the site of fierce fighting
between ISIS jihadists and Syrian government loyalists.
A monitoring group said ISIS reportedly
blew up several of Shaer’s pumping stations just as the
European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre recorded a 4.4-magnitude
earthquake in the area.
‘There were three huge explosions there
carried out by ISIS on Monday,’ said Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights. He had no immediate word on casualties.
According to Mail online, the explosions reportedly even shook
Palmyra, the ancient oasis city about 30 miles southeast of Shaer,
according to reports posted on Twitter.
Syria’s army recaptured Palmyra from ISIS on March 27 after about 10 months of jihadist rule over the city.
