US hits T-4 military airport in Syria

US missile attack has targeted the T-4 military airport in Syria’s Homs province, says Syrian state media, last night

Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of launching a chemical attack near the capital Damascus, saying there will be a “big price to pay”

According to Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen broadcaster, the missiles were coming from the Mediterranean Sea, through Lebanese airspace

Syrian air defenses responded to a “missile attack” early on Monday morning, and shot down eight missiles

Several people were reportedly killed and wounded in the attack on the airbase, which is located in the countryside of the western city of Homs
