DAMASCUS: Missiles hit a weapons depot on Sunday belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah movement at Syria’s Dabaa military airbase in the central province of Homs, a monitor said. Syria’s official SANA news agency confirmed the airbase had been targeted, but said air defences had intercepted the missiles. “One of our military airports was the target of missiles intercepted by our anti-aircraft defences,” SANA said, citing a military source. There were no casualties immediately reported, but SANA reported explosions in the area. More than 350,000 people have been killed since Syria’s conflict erupted in March 2011 with protests that spiralled into a brutal war.
