Explosions were heard in the vicinity of the Syrian capital Damascus, near Damascus International Airport, per Roya’s correspondent.

Preliminary information indicates that the explosions are a result of an Israeli Occupation airstrike targeting Damascus International Airport and other areas.

Smoke was observed rising from the areas of Mezza, Al-Mazzeh, and Al-Sumaria.

Last Wednesday, explosions were reported in the vicinity of the Sayyida Zainab area in the countryside of Damascus. A Syrian military official stated that “at around 3:10 in the afternoon on Wednesday, the Zionist enemy carried out an airstrike with two missiles from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting some points in the vicinity of the city of Damascus.”

He added that the air defense systems responded to the attack and shot down one of the missiles, and that the losses were limited to material damage.
