Daesh blows up central Syrian gas field near Palmyra: Monitor

The Daesh terrorist group has carried out massive bomb attacks against a key gas field in central Syria, setting off a minor earthquake in the nearby city of Palmyra, a monitoring group says.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring group, said there were three huge blasts conducted by Daesh at the Shaer gas field on Monday.
