Terrorists’ mortars continued Tuesday to rain down on Damascus, leaving a trail of death in their wake.

Four rounds hit al-Shaghour neighbourhood, two of which smashed into Badr-Eddin al-Hossni Institute for Islamic Sharia Sciences, killing 14 civilians, according to a Police Command source.

86 others, mostly students, were reported wounded in the attack.

The other two rounds landed in the surrounding of the Institute, hurting no one.

The source added that terrorists targeted al-Abassiyeen area with 9 mortar shells which landed in the surrounding of al-Abassiyeen Stadium, injuring 8 other civilians.

Minister of Health Saad al-Nayef paid a visit to the injured in Damascus Hospital and stressed that medical cadres were mobilized to provide emergency and rescue services to the injured as soon as possible.
