Terrorists have carried out an artillery attack against the Khmeimim airbase in Syria, injuring four civilians, APA reports citing Sputnik.
The airbase, home to the majority of Russian forces stationed in Syria, has come under repeated attack over the years, with terrorists attempting to shell it using multiple launch rocket systems or to carry out an assault using drones.
"On the 5th of August at around 2:30 pm Moscow time, airspace control equipment at the Khmeimim airbase detected the launch of three multiple launch rockets in the direction of the Russian airbase coming from the north," the MoD said in a press statement.
According to the military, the barrage did not hit the airbase, which is continuing its operations as normal.
