On April 14, the US, the UK and France launched a large scale missile strike against several positions of the Damascus government in the Syrian capital, Damascus and other unspecified areas.
The US Army and Syrian sources confirmed that all the targets that were hit are facilities of the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC).
According to Syrian pro-government activists, most of the targets were located in the districts of al-Kiswah and Barazah inside Damascus city. Other positions like al-Qutifah missile base and Dumayr airbase were also hit.
The Lebanese al-Mayadeen TV said that the Syrian Arab Air Defense Forces (SyAAD) were able to shot down more than 13 missiles over Damascus city.
