Gas compressor explodes at Syria's Homs refinery

 A fire in Syria’s Homs refinery was put out by civil defense and the refinery firefighting unit, shortly after a gas compressor in the 6th project exploded, state TV reported.

No information was immediately available on whether production was affected.

The refinery, located west of Homs, is one of two main refineries covering most domestic demand for diesel, heating fuel, gasoline and other products, industry experts say.
