Deadly air strikes extend on Eastern Ghouta, kill 30
2015-08-25
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Syrian regime's devastating aerial campaign has extended on eastern suburbs of Damascus on Sunday, killing 30 people in less than 12 hours since 52 people had been killed in key town of Douma northeast the capital, activists and monitoring groups said.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights said 13 civilians, including 6 children and 5 women, have bit the dust in Hamouriya suburb as well as 8 others were killed in Saqba.

More 9 victims, including 3 children, have been killed in Irbeen and nearby village of Kafr Batna, the monitoring group that tracks war in Syria said.

On Saturday, at least 52 people had been killed in Douma, 6 days since a massacre committed against 117 civilians and branded as war crime by UN officials.

Their deaths were denounced by global powers as well as rights groups, which lambasted the Assad regime's indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
