Shelling Kills 11 Children on the Outskirts of Damascus

BEIRUT – At least 11 children were killed Wednesday in shelling near a school in the Al Qabun area on the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, or SOHR, reported.

The NGO said the death toll could rise since an unknown number of people were injured and were listed in critical condition.

The Observatory did not specify whether the shelling was conducted by Syrian government forces or by the opposition.

Meanwhile, the official Syrian news agency Sana reported that two civilians were killed in a mortar attack launched by “terrorists” in the town of Harasta, northeast of Damascus.

SANA, citing a police source in Damascus, stated that a woman was injured in a rocket attack in the capital’s Rukendin neighborhood.

More than 200,000 people have been killed since the conflict began in Syria in March 2011, according to latest data issued by UN.
