Syrian government air strikes on a market and a hospital killed at least eight civilians outside Damascus Thursday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor and activists said.
“Warplanes carried out a series of strikes on areas in the city of Douma in Eastern Ghouta, killing at least eight civilians, including a child,” said Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman.
Dozens more were wounded, several seriously, and the toll is likely to rise.
The Observatory said one of the raids hit a field hospital, but could not say how many were killed there.
