Damascus, Aug 3 (Xinhua/UNI) Several Syrian soldiers were killed on Saturday by an explosion that rocked a Syrian air base in the central region, according to the state news agency SANA.

The explosion rocked the Shayrat air base in the central province of Homs when soldiers were moving out-of-date munition.

The report said the explosion is a result of a technical error.

The Shayrat air base has been crucial for the Syrian army during the more than eight-year war and it had been struck by the U.S. in 2017 in response to a suspected chemical attack in the town of Khan Shaykhun in the Idlib Province in northwestern Syria.
