DAMASCUS: At least 23 people, including six children, have been killed in Russian air strikes on a market in a Damascus suburb, witnesses said.
According to the reports, Baraa, a Syrian activist in Douma, said Russian air strikes had hit the Kouatly market in Douma, just outside of the capital. Several people were critically wounded.
‘We have been hearing warplanes roaming above us. The air strikes targeted a busy market,’ he told Al Jazeera international media center.
‘Most of those killed and injured are adult women and men. We know those warplanes are Russian because of the type of missiles that were used.
‘The rebels also have special devices that can intercept signals from approaching warplanes; they are Russian,’ Baraa said.
