TEHRAN, September 18 - Syria says its air defense system has shot down several missiles fired from the sea, targeting state technical industry institutions in Latakia on Monday night.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "Air defenses have confronted enemy missiles coming from the sea in the direction of the Latakia city, and intercepted a number of them," the official SANA quoted a military source as saying late on Monday.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported that huge explosions had been heard in the western city.
Local media have reported the large explosion and a power outage in the surrounding area.
Two people were killed as the result of the attack.
It was not immediately known who fired the missiles, which appeared to be targeting “ammunition depots” of Syria's Organization for Technological Industries.
The state-run Al-Ikhbariya TV said the attacks were from the Israeli military targeting the state company.
The attacks came a couple of days after the Syrian missile defense system successfully intercepted and downed Israeli missiles fired at an airport in the capital Damascus.
