Syria retracts report on missile attack: state media
Damascus, April 17 (AFP) Apr 17, 2018
Syrian state media on Tuesday retracted reports of an overnight missile attack on the central province of Homs, saying its air defences had been activated after a "false alarm."

"Last night, a false alarm that Syrian air space had been penetrated triggered the blowing of air defence sirens and the firing of several missiles," a military source told state news agency SANA.

"There was no external attack on Syria," the source added.
