Missiles FIRED in Syria as air defences scrambled
to airstrike A MISSILE attack has been launched at a key
Syrian airbase, according to reports. Syrian authorities confirmed an attack had
been carried out on Shayrat airbase near the city of Homs, north of the capital Damascus. It comes after fighter jets were seen flying
over the two cities on Monday night. Missile defence teams responded to the strike
and shot down the explosives, according to reports.
When asked about the missile attack, an Israeli
military spokesman said, "We don't comment on such reports". The Pentagon later denied it had ordered the
strike. A spokesman said: There is no US military
activity in that area at this time. It is not known who launched the airstrike
at this time.
Western powers took military action against
Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad after he allegedly ordered a chemical weapons attack on his own
people in Douma. The UK joined US and French forces and launched
a limited targeted attack on Syrian weapons facilities last week. UK Prime Minister Theresa May told the House
of Commons on Monday the bombings were morally and legally right. She later said pressure from US President
Donald Trump had no affect on her decision to go to war.
Mrs May told MPs: We have done it because
we believed it was the right thing to do, and we were not alone..
