At 03:00 France launched Scalp EG and Scalp Naval at two chemical weapons facilities West of Homs destroying both targets.
Note the close proximity to Tartus where S-400 is located just 35km away.
Russia reports none of its air defences were activated despite missiles flying right past their base in Tartus just a few dozen kilometres from the impact zone.

S-400 failed to detect the stealthy Scalp cruise missiles made by France even when they were flying right by and falling near S-400 batteries.
