Several killed in yesterday’s blast at Syrian weapons depot
[IsraelTimes] A blast rocked a Syrian weapons depot, killing several people and causing damage, a Syrian watchdog group said Wednesday, a day after Israeli jets reportedly struck an arsenal near Damascus.

Syrian army regulars and fighters belonging to pro-regime militias were killed or injured in the kaboom, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Wednesday.

The Britannia-based group did not say how many people had been killed or hurt in the blast, which occurred near the city of Slinfah.

The blast, whose cause remained unclear, could be heard around the whole region of Latakia in western Syria.

, and is home to a number of military installations. Russia also maintains a military presence in the area.

The reports come a day after the Syrian military said that Israel conducted Arclight airstrikes on a military base in the city of al-Qutayfah, outside Damascus, early Tuesday morning, reportedly on a weapons depot containing long-range missiles.
