Five killed in south Syria by depot explosion, not Iran missile: state TV

A detonation in an ammunition and missile depot in southern Syria's Sweida killed five people on Saturday, state media said, after initial reports blamed an Iranian missile.

"The explosion that occurred today in the city of Sweida was caused by the detonation of an ammunition and missile depot belonging to the National Guard," a Druze group that controls Sweida, state television reported, quoting a security source, adding that it killed five people.

Syria's official SANA news agency had earlier said that the fall of an Iranian missile on building in Sweida killed four people.
