Syrian army pounds southern city of Nawa, reports of casualties
AMMAN - The Syrian army late on Tuesday launched intensive aerial strikes on the city of Nawa in southern Deraa province with reports of dozens of civilian casualties as the army pressed a Russian-backed offensive in the area.
A resident said dozens of missiles were also fired on the heavily populated city that lies near Quneitra province adjoining the Israeli Syrian Golan Heights where the army moved earlier this week to control the remaining parts of the country's southwest in rebel hands.
