Syria airstrike kills 9, including children
Activists say at least nine people were killed, including three children, in a Syrian government airstrike that targeted a rebel-held town near the capital Damascus.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there were likely more dead in Friday's airstrike, because people were buried under the rubble in the town of Saqba.
Local activists on a Saqba Facebook group said the strike hit a residential building and published a series of videos showing the strike's aftermath. The videos appeared genuine and corresponded to The Associated Press reporting of the event.
