2018-05-19 |
[ALMASDARNEWS] A massive explosion ripped through Hama military airbase, sending huge plumes of thick and black smoke into the sky. The reason behind the blast is still unknown, but early reports say that ammunition storage might have exploded due to a man-made error or the sudden rise of temperature. Other unconfirmed reports spoke of a missile attack that hit an armory inside the airbase. |

#4 Via syria.liveuamap.com... Local Syrian tweeted: The massive explosions which occurred earlier today in Hama AB happened due to a technical failure while welding a local-made free fall aerial bomb. 3 ammo depots completely vanished, heavy losses in equipment. No dead, because the first explosion forced everyone to shelters. Red Wire, Green Wire...?? |

#2 Consider: (1) Assad Regime negotiates with Rebels; (2) Rebels are to leave all military material behind; (3) SAA occupies area; and (4) multiple explosions erupt. Sounds like timers on demolition charges to me. |
