Air defense systems of the Syrian Army have managed to intercept and take down a hostile target over Damascus on Wednesday evening, the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria said.

Iran Press/Middle East: Two Zionist regime warplanes attacked targets near Damascus with four guided air bombs on Wednesday, Oleg Gurinov, the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria, said, adding that Syria’s air defense downed one of the bombs.

"On June 14 … two Israeli F-15 tactical fighters from the airspace of the occupied Golan Heights attacked targets in the vicinity of Damascus with four guided bombs," Gurinov told a briefing.

"The air defense forces of the Syrian armed forces that were on duty shot down one aerial bomb from the Russian-made Buk-M2E systems … No one was killed or injured."

The latest incident comes hours after reports detailed early Wednesday that Syrian air defense systems had been deployed to deter enemy strikes detected on the outskirts of Damascus. State media reported at the time that one Syrian soldier had sustained injuries as a result of the incident.
