Syria's Hayyan Gas Fields on Fire After Daesh's Retreat From Palmyra (VIDEO)
17:00 GMT 04.03.2017 (Updated: 17:31 GMT 04.03.2017) Syria's Hayyan gas field in the east of the Homs province set on fire by Daesh during retreat from the ancient city of Palmyra is still caught up in flames.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Thursday, the Syrian army backed by the Russian aircraft operating in Syria regained control over Palmyra.
The gas field put on fire by retreating Daesh militants was in flames on Friday. On Saturday, RT's Ruptly video news service published a footage showing flames and smoke still rising from Hayyan.
In January, Daesh blew up the Hayyan gas plant, which produced a third of country's electricity.
Daesh first seized Palmyra in spring 2015 before being forced out by Syrian government troops with Russia's aerial support in March 2016. Daesh terrorists later made multiple attempts to retake Palmyra, culminating in a major assault in early December 2016.
