Syrian air defense system repelled a missile attack on a military airbase on Thursday night.

SANA news agency reported that a military airbase in the central region was subjected to missile aggression, noting that the air defense system intercepted the attack.

“One of our military airports in the central region was exposed to hostile missile aggression, and our air defense systems confronted the attack and prevented it from achieving its aim,” SANA said.

The agency reported earlier that sounds of explosions were heard near the Dabaa airport near the city of Homs.

“The new aggression comes in coincidence with the successive continued defeats of terrorist organizations in front of the Syrian Arab army which fulfilled the purification of Damascus surroundings and forced the terrorists to hand over their weapons and get out of Homs and Hama countryside,” the agency added.
