Rocket and mortar fire into several populated civilian areas of Syria killed six civilians and wounded several more on Monday, the SANA state news agency reported.
The terrorist ‘ Moderates” battling President Bashar al-Assad’s regime often shell the capital from the suburb of Eastern Ghouta.
SANA also said that in second city Aleppo in the north, “rockets fired by terrorists hit a residential district, killing three girls and wounding another two”.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said the dead were “sisters aged between 16 and 19”.
The Observatory, which has an extensive network of informants inside Syria, also said several people were wounded by rocket fire on the government controlled Aleppo neighbourhood of Hamdaniyeh.
Syria’s former economic powerhouse has been ravaged by war since 2012. It is split between the government-held west and the terrorist insurgent-controlled east.
Aleppo province itself is almost entirely under the control of Syria’s Al-Qaeda affiliate, Al-Nusra Front, jihadist forces allied to it and the Islamic State jihadist group.
Elsewhere, SANA said, “terrorists targeted the town of Suqaylabiyah (northwest of the central city of Hama) with rockets, causing the death of two civilians and wounding eight, including a child.”
The Observatory reported “25 wounded” in the Christian-majority region.
More than 250,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict broke out nearly five years ago, and millions more have been displaced.
