Syrian state television showed images of a destroyed research center in Barzeh, north of Damascus, they say was hit by strikes on early Saturday.
Meanwhile, satellite images released by DigitalGlobe showed the aftermath of US and coalition air strikes on three facilities in Syria.
The strikes targeted the scientific research facility in the Damascus area, as well as a chemical weapons storage facility west of the city of Homs and a third location in the same area.

The United States, Britain and France launched strikes against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack after mulling military action for nearly a week.
US, British and French strikes slammed into a series of targets that Western countries said were linked to the Syrian government's chemical weapons program, but officials denied any chemical weapons were being developed there.
As Syria's internal security forces entered the city, buses waited to evacuate opposition fighters and their families out of Douma.
