"In order to cover the most sensitive objects of the Syrian infrastructure, a set of measures will be taken in the near future to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of the air defense system of the Syrian armed forces," the ministry said in a statement.
According to the ministry, only 23 out of the 59 cruise missiles launched by the United States late Thursday (early Friday in Syria) reached the targeted Syrian military airfield in the central province of Homs, with the whereabouts of the other missiles remaining unknown.
Four Syrian servicemen were killed, two others were missing and six received burns while fighting the fire, the statement said.
Citing an unnamed source, Russia's Sputnik reported that the US strike killed 10 people. No Russian citizens have been reportedly injured so far.
