Monitor: 45 killed in bombardment of Syria enclave

BEIRUT — The Syrian regime bombardment of the rebel-held enclave of Eastern Ghouta kills at least 45 civilians on Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.

The Britain-based war monitor says at least 19 of the victims are killed in the town of Hammuriyeh, where regime aircraft use crude improvised munitions known as “barrel bombs.”

The Observatory warns that the toll could rise higher as bodies are still being retrieved from the rubble.
