Deadly strike hits Syria rebel town despite truce
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn air strike kills eight civilians, half of them children, and wounds dozens more late Monday, in a rebel-held region near the Syrian capital, where a fragile truce was declared on the weekend.
A Russian military official says there were no air strikes in the ceasefire zone in the Eastern Ghouta region, calling reports to the contrary “a complete lie.”
The strike hits the town of Arbin in the Eastern Ghouta rebel enclave at around 11:30 p.m. (2030 GMT), residents say.
At least four children and one woman are among the dead, according to medics and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
