Air strikes kill 21 civilians in Syria

In Syria, at least twenty-one civilians were killed in fresh strikes by government forces on Eastern Ghouta on Saturday.

The Britain-based monitor of the war says the dead include twelve people killed in the main town of Douma.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the Syrian government launched bombardment on suburbs of the capital Damascus last Sunday that has now killed nearly five hundred civilians including more than hundred children. (AFP)
