Pipeline sabotage in Hasakah is the third attack on Syria’s energy network in weeks

An oil pipeline near Tal Hamis was damaged on 7 October, a week after a gas line blast near Damascus took three power stations offline. What happened, why Syria's electricity supply is so exposed, and what it means for visitors.

How we report

Our editorial standards

We are not a wire service and we do not try to be first. We cover the news that changes what a visitor, an investor, or a returning family actually needs to know, and we say plainly where our information comes from and how confident we are in it.

1

Sourced, always

Every article lists its sources at the foot. Where we could not verify something, we say so rather than implying it is confirmed.

2

Dated, never refreshed

Articles carry a publication date and, if substantially updated, a separate update date and a note on what changed. We never re-date an article to make it look new.

3

Corrections in public

When we get something wrong we correct it on the page, with a dated note explaining the error. We do not quietly edit.

4

No paid coverage

We do not accept payment for articles or for favourable coverage. Any commercial relationship is disclosed in the article itself.
