BBC: Syria has denied reports that a series of blasts at a military airport near Damascus on Sunday were from Israeli air strikes, state media say.
The loud blasts, reported at the Mezzeh airport, were caused by an explosion at a munitions dump, Sana news agency said, citing Syrian military sources.
The incident was the result of an electrical fault, the agency added.
Israel has launched air strikes against Syria in the past and was accused of targeting Mezzeh airport last year.
The airport is believed to house Syrian Air Force intelligence.
On Sunday, the head of UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, told AFP news agency the Mezzeh military airport was struck by a “possible Israeli missile” fired across the occupied Golan Heights.
