Terrorist rocket attack kills seven civilians in Syria’s Aleppo

At least seven civilians, including two women and a child, have lost their lives in a rocket attack by foreign-sponsored Takfiri terrorists against a residential district in Syria’s conflict-plagued northwestern city of Aleppo.

An unnamed security source said the civilians lost their lives when several rockets fired by Takfiri terrorists struck the Salahuddin neighborhood of the city, located 355 km north of the capital, Damascus, on Wednesday morning, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported.

The source added that another nine civilians were injured in the attack, warning that the death toll could rise as some of the injured are in critical condition.

The projectiles also caused substantial damage to public properties and several houses in the targeted area.

On Tuesday, foreign-backed militants had struck the same Aleppo neighborhood, leaving eight civilians dead and another 12 injured.

Elsewhere in the predominately Christian-populated Bab Touma neighborhood of Damascus, two people sustained injuries when several mortar shells slammed into the area.
