(MENAFN) Syrian government forces fired rockets at a rebel-held area on the outskirts of Damascus on Sunday, pressing an attack that began the day before and has killed as many as 16 people, a medical worker and war monitors said.
The medical worker and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it was the biggest attack on the Qaboun area, to the city's northeast, in at least two years.
At least three shells hit government-held areas closer to the centre of Damascus and near Qaboun on Sunday, but there were no reports of casualties, a Hezbollah-run military media unit and a Reuters witness said.
