Suspected Russian jets kill at least 20 near Syrian capital
None
Suspected Russian jets killed at least 20 people and wounded dozens early on Thursday when they dropped bombs on two residential buildings in a besieged rebel enclave east of the Syrian capital, residents and a war monitor said.
At least four bombs flattened the buildings in the town of Misraba, wounding more than 40 people, they said, while at least ten people were killed in aerial strikes in nearby towns in the last rebel stronghold near the capital.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor based in Britain, said 11 women and a child were among the dead in the strike in Misraba.
Video footage downloaded by activists on social media showed rescue workers pulling women and children from the rubble. The footage could not be independently confirmed.
