Syria
Shells thought to be fired from the east of the capital could be heard exploding in the city, a witness told Reuters, and local media reported that Islam Army, a group based in the eastern Ghouta region on the outskirts of the city, was behind the attack.

A witness in Damascus reported at least 30 explosions on Thursday. According to Sham FM local radio station, rockets have hit five districts of the capital, including the Old City.



Some of the injured civilians brought to al-Mwasat hospital are in a critical condition, a source told SANA.

The same group struck the capital with at least 38 rockets on Jan 25, killing seven people, a monitoring group said, in one of the heaviest attacks on Damascus in over a year.
