Missile attack on Syria air base on the night of April 17 was not. The air alarm turned out to be false. This was reported by the Syrian state news agency SANA, citing a source in military circles. The interlocutor of the publication admitted that Syria's air defense calculations were activated due to a false signal, and because of the launches of interceptors throughout the territory of the country, the sirens of air alarm. Earlier, the Syrian news agency reported that last night at the air base Shayrat and Dumayr was raided, but the anti-aircraft gunners repulsed the attack and shot down all the missiles aimed at Syrian targets. At the Pentagon, they immediately dismissed all suspicions, saying that at the time indicated, the United States did not conduct any "military activity" in Syria,. The second suspect - Israel - at first kept silent, but then and there declared that they were not involved in the attack. And by noon it turned out that there was no blow at all. However, in all this history there is still strangeness. If Syria's air defense still launched anti-missiles, then for what purpose? Syria underwent a massive missile attack by the United States, Britain and France on Saturday night, April 14. According to the report of the Pentagon, a total of over 100 rockets were fired at government facilities in the republic. Of these, according to estimates of Russian specialists, not reached the goal of about 70.

Fortunately, there were no victims.
