| University of Damascus hit by mortars |
| 2013-03-28 |
| Mortar fire has hit the University of Damascus, killing 12 students, Syrian state TV says. The channel blamed rebels for the attack, saying a number of people had also been injured. It said the mortars had hit the university's faculty of architecture. The Syrian capital is in the grip of heavy fighting between government and rebel forces, who have recently intensified the use of mortars in the city, correspondents say. State-run al-Ikhbariya TV said the mortars had hit a canteen. The station showed footage of doctors trying to save victims amid a scene of upturned tables and chairs, shattered glass and blood on the floor. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based activist group, said several rounds had hit but did not give further details, AFP news agency reported. |
