DAMASCUS, Sept. 17 -- Syria's air defenses were triggered Monday evening by an Israeli missile attack on the coastal city of Latakia, which lasted for an hour and a half, state TV reported.
The state media reports said the air defenses intercepted many missiles before reaching their targets, airing footages showing the air defense missiles beaming in the sky over Latakia and the nearby city of Tartus.
The footages also showed areas that had been struck by the missile attack, which the TV said was carried out from the sea.
It said the Technical Industries Corporation on the eastern outskirts of the city was hit.
Pro-government activists said the 28 missiles were fired from the sea on military positions in Latakia.
The attack caused a major power cut in Latakia but was later fixed and the electricity returned to the coastal city.
Meanwhile, medical sources in Latakia said that eight people were wounded in the attack.
Pro-government activists said the Russian-run Khmeimim air base in Latakia countryside took part in intercepting the missile attack on Latakia.
Eyewitnesses said that heavy smoke was seen on the entrance of Latakia as the sounds of air defenses had reverberated across the city.
The Syrian army, meanwhile, said in a statement that the Israeli attack was carried out from inside the Lebanese airspace, which led to the killing of two soldiers in the Technical Industry facility.
