Ten civilians have been killed and around 40 injured following militant rocket attacks on residential neighborhoods in Daraa City in southern Syria, SANA news agency reports.
The bodies of those killed have been taken to a hospital, a local doctor told RIA. The medic also stated that the death toll had risen to 11, while around 40 people, many of whom were women and children, have been injured.
