A series of explosions rocked Syria’s northern Aleppo city as Syrian air defence systems intercepted hostile missiles targeting the city, according to media reports. Residents heard multiple explosions echoing across Aleppo, with subsequent updates clarifying that the explosions were the result of Syrian air defences intercepting incoming missiles in the city’s airspace.
