Terrorists in Syria have carried out attacks on residential areas killing four people in two major cities, the state news agency says, reporting more cases of violations of a truce deal in the Arab country.
Syria’s official SANA new agency said Saturday that at least three people were killed and 17 others were injured in attacks on residential neighborhoods in Aleppo, northwest of the country.
Military sources said the assaults were carried out by al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front and affiliated groups and targeted al-Ashrafiyeh, al-Hamadaniyeh, al-Iza’a and al-Mukambo neighborhoods of Aleppo.
SANA also said terrorists fired rounds of mortars on residential areas in al-Wafideen Camp neighborhood in Damascus countryside, killing one child and injuring a woman. It said several residential areas in the capital, including al-Salehiyeh and al-Adawi neighborhoods, were also shelled by militants, with no reports available on the casualties.
Both attacks on Aleppo and near and inside Damascus inflicted considerable material damage on public and private properties, SANA said, accusing the terrorists of ignoring a truce deal across Syria to facilitate peace talks in Switzerland between the government and the foreign-backed opposition.
