British and French forces tell aircraft in Eastern Mediterranean 'to be wary of sudden missile attacks'

Express:

A coalition force could fire “air-to-ground or cruise missiles” in the wake of a horrifying chemical attack on innocent civilians in Syria last week.

Aviation experts AirLive have reported a “rapid alert notification” warning aircraft in the eastern Mediterranean to be wary of a sudden missile strike.

AirLive said the alert was issued by Eurocontrol for a “possible launch … within the next 72 hours”.

AirLive said: “According to reports, British forces are mobilising at their bases in Cyprus and Rafale fighter jets could takeoff from St Dizier airbase in France for possible strikes against Syria.”

The Eurocontrol alert said: “Due to the possible launch of air strikes into Syria with air-to-ground and/or cruise missiles within the next 72 hours, and the possibility of intermittent disruption of radio navigation equipment, due consideration needs to be taken when planning flight operations in the Eastern Mediterranean / Nicosia FIR area.”

The UK has said military intervention is a possibility following the chemical attack in Douma.

This is an unusual heads up for civilian aircraft that will also be seen by Syrian and Russian forces in the area.  It is not clear why they also had to give the location of the likely source of the attacks.  But with the US also planning attacks it looks like at least two other members of NATO will be involved.

With so many different forces involved, I would be surprised if the attack was limited to just the source of the WMD used by Syria that sent 500 mostly women and children to hospitals.
