Explosion heard near Aleppo in Syria

An explosion was heard in the Syrian city of Aleppo in the early hours of Saturday morning, Syrian state TV said.

No other details were immediately available. The Syrian official state news agency SANA first reported the incident.

On May 4, two rounds of airstrikes attributed to Israel targeted Iran-linked targets in Syria, including one against a weapons factory in al-Safira outside Aleppo and a second against militia bases in Deir Ezzor in the east of the country.
