At least one air strike hit a military airport in Syria, according to the country’s state media.

AFP and the BBC on Sunday night both cited Syrian state media as saying that the air base in question had been hit by the strike. Loud explosions were heard above the base, according to the BBC.

State media reported that several had been killed and wounded in the strike, according to AFP.

A Syrian news agency said that the country’s air strike defenses confronted the incoming attack on the base and managed to shoot down eight missiles, the Associated Press reported.

Initial reports were unclear as to who was responsible for the strikes. Pentagon officials denied responsibility for the strikes, according to the AP.
