Militant mortar attacks, blast leave 13 Syrians dead, scores injured
More than a dozen people, including an aid worker, have been killed and several others injured in a series of mortar attacks and a bombing carried out by foreign-sponsored Takfiri militants against residential areas in Syria’s northwestern city of Aleppo.
Four people lost their lives and three others sustained injuries when mortar shells fired by militants struck an area in the Dar'a al-Balad neighborhood of the southwestern city of Dara'a, the official news agency SANA reported.
The projectiles also caused material damage to residential buildings and public properties in the targeted area.
Elsewhere in the al-Hamdaniyeh neighborhood of the northern city of Aleppo, two people were killed and 14 others injured when a number of shells slammed into the district.
Additionally, five children were killed when an improvised explosive device went off in Bustan al-Qasr neighborhood of Aleppo.
Two people were also fatally shot as terrorists opened fire on their vehicle in Ku’a Hadar neighborhood of the southern city of Sweida.
Over the past almost six years, Syria has been fighting foreign-sponsored militancy. UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura estimated in August last year that more than 400,000 people had been killed in the Syrian crisis until then.
The UN has stopped its official casualty count in Syria, citing its inability to verify the figures it receives from various sources.
