EASTERN GHOUTA: At least 30 Syrian civilians were killed in fresh regime attacks in the Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta on Monday, according to local civil-defense sources.

Regime forces launched air and ground attacks on several districts in the suburb, which has been under a crippling siege since 2012.

Twenty civilians, including children and women, were killed in the town of Hammuriya in Eastern Ghouta, the sources — who are affiliated with the White Helmets civil-defense agency — said.

Seven people were also killed by ground attacks in the town of Saqba, while three others were killed by an airstrike in the town of Jisrin, the same sources added on condition of anonymity due to safety concerns. (AA)
