Explosions heard in and around airport in central Syria - state media, monitor
Reuters Staff

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Explosions were heard in and around Syria’s Hama airport on Friday, Syrian state media said, without elaborating on the cause of the blasts, and a monitoring body said 11 pro-government troops were killed.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the series of explosions happened inside Hama’s military airport and had been heard in Hama city. Eleven people had died and dozens were missing from among Syrian government and allied forces.

“Five blasts at least were heard inside Hama military airport ... targeting ammunition and fuel depots,” the Observatory added.

Sounds a bit like old fashioned sabotage or an accident, there doesn't seem to be much said about airstrikes at this point in time.
