- Russia Backs Syrian Regime Forces Attack on Ein Tarma With Chlorine Gas

- #Damascus (IRW) - Fifteen civilians were injured with suffocating symptoms as a result of the heavy shelling from the regime forces with heavy artillery attached by Chlorine Gas on the town of Ein Tarma in Damascus countryside.

This comes in conjunction with a violent offensive launched by the regime forces backed by the 4th division on the town, amid intensive artillery and missile shelling on the residential neighborhoods, in flagrant violation of the de-escalation agreement.

"The moderate armed opposition groups east of the capital Damascus have not carried out their commitments to expel extremist groups, which would increase the frequency of violence again in the de-escalation area in the eastern Ghouta." Russian air base in Syria justified the attack via its official Facebook page.
