TEL ABYAD, Syria (AA) - At least five civilians were killed and seven wounded Tuesday in a ground attack by Syrian regime forces in a village in western Damascus.
Fighting between regime forces and local armed groups erupted following raids by Bashar al-Assad’s troops, according to local sources.
Regime forces subsequently targeted the village with ground-to-ground weapons, striking a bus carrying civilians and residential homes.
Clashes continued intermittently, according to an Anadolu correspondent.
