2018-03-10 8

Explosions reverberated and clouds of smoke rose over the city of Douma in East Ghouta on March 10.

Local activists said at least 20 people were killed as over 75 airstrikes and many more shells hit the city.

Syrian government forces claimed they captured the city of Misraba, located south of Douma. The capture of Misraba indicates progress towards the Syrian government’s plan to encircle the city of Douma and cut it off from the rest of opposition forces in East Ghouta.
