Syrian media says the country's military has confronted an "aggression" and has shot down missiles over Homs.

Although no confirmation of who launched the strike, local media has blamed Israel.

The Pentagon denied there being new US military activity in the area.

Up to nine missiles were intercepted and destroyed by the Syrian Armed Forces, a military source said.

According to yet unconfirmed reports, the missiles entered Syrian airspace from Lebanon.
