Attack on rebel-held Damascus suburb kills 8

None

Syrian activists and rescue workers say at least eight people have been killed in attacks on a rebel-held suburb of the capital, Damascus.

 

The Syrian Civil Defense team of first responders says the eight who died in Thursday's heavy government shelling of Douma, east of Damascus, included a child.

 

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the death toll may increase further as rescue efforts are continuing. The rescuers said their work is hampered by continued shelling.
