Militant mortar attacks injure 8 Syrians in Damascus, Homs
At least eight people have been injured in two separate mortar attacks by foreign-sponsored Takfiri militants against residential areas on the outskirts of the capital, Damascus, and the western city of Homs.
Four people sustained injuries when six mortar shells fired by the so-called Jaysh al-Islam militants struck the city of Harasta, located about 25 kilometers (15 miles) northeast of Damascus, on Saturday, Syria’s official news agency SANA reported.
The projectiles also caused damage to several houses and buildings at the targeted area.
Additionally, four civilians were injured when a militant rocket hit Jub al-Jandali neighborhood of Homs, located 162 kilometers (101 miles) north of Damascus.
On September 20, fourteen people, including seven children, lost their lives and 25 others sustained injuries when mortar shells fired by militants struck al-Maidan neighborhood of Aleppo, located 355 kilometers (220 miles) north of Damascus,
Two girls were also hurt when a mortar round landed in the Adawi neighborhood of the city.
Additionally, three people suffered injuries when a mortar round launched by Takfiri terrorists slammed into the Christian- majority village of Maaruna, which lies on the outskirts of Damascus.
The foreign-sponsored conflict in Syria, which flared in March 2011, has reportedly claimed more than 240,000 lives up until now.
The United Nations says the militancy has displaced more than 7.2 million Syrians internally, and compelled over four million others to take refuge in neighboring countries, including Jordan and Lebanon.
