Scores hurt in Damascus mortar attack
A mortar attack on a historic souk in central Damascus kills one person and wounds dozens, Syria’s official news agency says.
“Terrorists launched two mortar rounds on Tarek Ben Ziyad Street, in the Al-Hariqa market of Damascus, which killed one person, wounded 30 others,” SANA reported, citing a high-ranking police source.
Situated within the walls of the Old City, the souk is one of the oldest and most famous marketplaces in the capital, popular among tourists and locals alike.
