No chemical weapons again: Civilized Nations strikes leave huge damages to Syrian airbase but no white smoke

The U.S. missile strike that targeted a Syrian airbase in Homs province at dawn Friday left big damages, Homs governor Talal Barazi told Xinhua.


The governor said that rescue operations have started at the facility over an hour and a half ago.

He added that he thinks there are no big number of casualties, but huge damage to the airbase.

Barazi said the airbase is located east of Homs, and was a key backer to the Syrian army in the war on the Islamic State (IS) group, noting that the airbase played a significant role in liberating the ancient city of Palmyra from ISIS
