A total of six people were killed and 32 others wounded by an airstrike against a rebel-held area in the eastern countryside of the capital Damascus on Wednesday, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The dead are two women and four children, the Observatory said, adding that the strike targeted the suburb of Saqba in the eastern al-Ghouta countryside of Damascus.
Earlier in the day, the Observatory said the Syrian air force bombarded parts of a refugee camp on the Syria-Jordanian border near the town of al-Shajra overnight, killing at least nine civilians, noting that the death toll is likely to rise as some of the injured are in critical conditions.
Meanwhile, the state news agency SANA said the Syrian troops targeted rebel positions in a number of Syrian areas on Wednesday, namely the southern province of Daraa and the northwestern provinces of Idlib and Aleppo.
It noted that the troops carried out a series of operations, during which they eliminated many armed "terrorists."
The Syrian crisis, already into its fourth year, has claimed the lives of more than 100,000 people and displaced millions.
