Syrian government forces drive past heavily damaged buildings in Aleppo's 1070 district on November 8, 2016, after seizing it from Militants.
The carnage in Syria continues with terrorist attacks on residential areas across the country claiming the lives of at least 17 civilians and injuring dozens more.
According to Press TV, on Wednesday, seven people were killed and 24 more injured after terrorists shelled Aleppo University in Syria’s divided city.
Local officials said most of the casualties were students, and that the university’s infrastructure was also damaged in the attack on the government-held part of the city.
Four people were also injured when terrorists targeted residential areas across the city.
Aleppo has been divided since 2012 between government forces in the west and the terrorists in the east. Backed by Russian air cover, the Syrian army launched operations to purge the terrorists from the city in September.
At least nine people were also killed by terrorists' sniper fire and shelling in the southwestern Quneitra province. Officials said that the attacks had caused severe damage to several homes.
Two more people were also killed in terrorists' attacks in Idlib Province and the capital Damascus.
Since March 2011, Syria has been hit by militancy it blames on some Western states and their regional allies. Backed by Russian air cover, the Syrian military is engaged in an operation to rid the country of Daesh and other terrorist groups.
