Syria: Terrorists kill 7 civilians in Damascus district

At least seven civilians have been killed and 13 others wounded in Takfiri terrorist shelling on a neighborhood of the Syrian capital, Damascus.

A source at Damascus Police Command told Syria's official SANA news agency that the casualties came on Thursday when terrorists fired rockets at the Damascus district of Esh al-Warwar district.

Earlier on Thursday, the armed groups in Syria's Eastern Ghouta region near the capital fired 17 rocket shells on the Harasta residential suburb, causing damage to civilian properties.

The Syrian army forces launched a retaliatory attack and destroyed the militants' rocket launchers.

Separately on Thursday, four Turkish people sustained injuries in rocket attacks apparently launched by Kurdish militants in Syria in retaliation for Turkey's recent military campaign on the Arab country.

Mehmet Tekinarslan, the governor of Turkey's southern Kilis Province, said two rockets hit a restaurant and a house in the center of Kilis.

Turkish security forces cordoned off the area and ambulances arrived on the scene to evacuate those wounded in the incident.
