Powerful
blasts have rocked a military airport in Damascus, with reports
suggesting it was targeted by a missile attack or an airstrike. A
military said they were caused by a short circuit at a nearby
ammunition depot, though.
The
blasts occurred at the Mazzeh military airport late Saturday night,
according to multiple reporters on the ground. Explosions can be
heard in footage from Damascus posted on social media.
According
to unnamed officials and intelligence sources cited by multiple media
outlets, the air base was the target of an airstrike or missile
attack, and Syrian air defenses responded. Israel has previously
targeted the base in its attacks, although there has been no official
confirmation as of yet.
However,
one military source cited by Syrian state media outlet Sana, has
denied there has been an attack, instead saying the explosions were
caused by a short circuit at a munitions dump.
