叙利亚当局周二表示，叙利亚东部一条天然气管道发生疑似爆炸，导致向发电站供气中断，这是针对地中海国家能源设施的最新破坏行为。
An apparent explosion on an eastern gas pipeline in Syria halted gas flow to power stations in the latest act of sabotage against the Mediterranean country's energy facilities, authorities said Tuesday.
官方叙利亚通讯社（SANA）报道称：“周一晚间，由于蓄意破坏导致分段阀门爆炸，舒拉地区与代尔祖尔之间的一条天然气管道起火。”
"A fire broke out Monday evening in a gas pipeline between the Al-Shoula area and Deir ez-Zor due to the explosion of a sectional valve caused by sabotage," the official SANA news agency reported.
SANA援引叙利亚石油公司官员的话补充说：“火灾导致阿尔贾布萨工厂向发电站供气中断。”目前尚不清楚此次破坏行为背后的责任方。
Quoting an official at the Syrian Petroleum Company, SANA added that "the fire halted gas flow from the Al-Jabsah plant to power stations". It remains unclear who was behind the sabotage at this time.
叙利亚东部的代尔祖尔省是该国主要油气田所在地，自2019年所谓“伊斯兰国”恐怖组织被击败以来，该地区持续遭受袭击。
Eastern Syria's Deir ez-Zor province, home to the country's main oil and gas fields, has seen persistent attacks since the so-called Islamic State terrorist group's defeat in 2019.
“伊斯兰国”残余势力经常在该地区发动非对称攻击，目标直指能源基础设施，意图颠覆大马士革全面保障其能源物流的努力。
IS group remnants regularly target energy infrastructure in the region in asymmetrical attacks meant to subvert Damascus' push to fully secure its energy logistics.
8月18日，同一设施的一条天然气管道也遭到袭击，叙利亚当局同样将其描述为蓄意破坏。
A gas pipeline at the same facility was struck in what Syrian authorities also described as deliberate sabotage on 18 August.
叙利亚全国各地的民众一直在抱怨燃料价格上涨，当局将此次涨价归因于伊朗战争。本月早些时候，叙利亚全国各地的民众走上街头，抗议价格上涨。
Syrians across the country have been complaining about rising fuel prices, as authorities cite the Iran war as the reason for the hike. Earlier this month, Syrians across the country took to the streets to protest the price increase.
能源部长穆罕默德·阿尔巴希尔表示，在2011年至2024年摧毁该国基础设施的战争之前，叙利亚每天生产3000万立方米天然气用于发电。
Before the 2011-2024 war, which ravaged the country's infrastructure, Syria produced 30 million cubic metres of gas per day for electricity generation, according to Energy Minister Mohammad al-Bashir.
据阿尔巴希尔称，如今产量已降至850万立方米，而需求量在2200万至2500万立方米之间。
Today, production has dropped to 8.5 million cubic metres, while demand ranges between 22 and 25 million cubic metres, according to al-Bashir.
今年6月，大马士革与美国石油巨头康菲石油公司签署合同，开发该国天然气行业。2024年推翻长期独裁者巴沙尔·阿萨德的新当局正寻求吸引投资，以支持战后重建。
In June, Damascus signed a contract with US oil giant ConocoPhillips to develop the country's gas sector as the new authorities, who toppled longtime dictator Bashar al-Assad in 2024, seek to attract investment to support post-war reconstruction.
阿尔-贾布萨（Al-Jabsah）工厂是叙利亚主要的天然气处理设施之一，位于今年早些时候重新归中央政府完全控制的地区。
The Al-Jabsah facility is one of Syria's main gas processing plants, located in an area that was returned to the central government's full control earlier this year.
