NGO: Shelling kills 15 in Damascus

Fifteen people were killed on Friday in shelling on Damascus, among them six in the heart of the capital, as the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan entered its third day, a watchdog said.

"Six people were killed when three shells (likely launched by rebels) hit Baghdad street, in the center of the city. Nine others were killed in a massive (regime) shelling of Qaboon in northwestern Damascus," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. (AFP)
