Al-Zara power plant, which is one of the major power plants in war-torn Syria, was damaged by shelling carried out by the Daesh and Jabhat Fatah al Sham (formerly known as Nusra Front) terrorists, according to local media.

ALEPPO (Sputnik) — The shelling carried out by jihadists of the Islamic State (ISIL or Daesh) and Jabhat Fatah al Sham (formerly known as Nusra Front) groups in the Syrian western-central province of Hama critically damaged the Al-Zara power plant, local media reported Sunday.

According to the Al-Alam broadcaster, terrorists outlawed in Russia and many other countries almost destroyed several units of the power station.
