A Syrian government airstrike hit an opposition-held Damascus suburb on Friday, killing more than 30 people, including six children, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.


The Observatory said the attack hit a public area in the eastern Damascus suburb of Hamouriyeh. It put the death toll at 32, including six children.


Videos posted online by various opposition groups, including the Syrian Media Organisation and the Shaam News Network, showed the aftermath of the blast, including dead bodies and damaged buildings.


The grassroots Local Coordination Committees said on Facebook that the strike hit a public square as people were leaving a mosque after Friday prayers
