Unclaimed Missile Strike Pounds Syrian Town Hosting Russian Base, Syria Blames Israel

Syria's coastal city of Latakia, which hosts a large Russian naval base and military presence, has come under attack from an unclaimed missile strike that Syria attributes to Israel. An air battle took place as missiles streaked in and an ammunition depot and technical industry may have been hit. "Air defenses have confronted enemy missiles coming from the sea in the direction of the Latakia city, and intercepted a number of them," Syrian state-run media said, according to Reuters.
