‘Russian air base foils terrorist attack in Syria’

Terrorist groups fired projectiles at Hmeimim, situated in Latakia’s Jableh district, as well as the nearby Qardaha neighborhood, the Syrian TV reported on Saturday.

It also noted that the attack had left one person dead and several others wounded.

Meanwhile, Syria’s official SANA news agency confirmed that terrorists based in the provinces of Idlib and Latakia had fired rockets at Sharasher and Hweiz villages in Lattakia countryside, killing one civilian and injuring two others.

The terrorist attack, it added, also caused material damage to Syrian houses.

The fresh raid came hours after Syrian air defenses intercepted “hostile targets” coming from Israel.
