Two reportedly killed in militants shelling of Eastern Ghouta

At least two civilians have been killed after terrorists stationed in Eastern Ghouta shelled al-Kabbas neighborhood in Damascus, local media reported on Monday, citing a source in Damascus Police Command.

Earlier in the day, spokesman for the Russian center for Syrian reconciliation Maj. Gen. Vladimir Zolotukhin said that groups of militants in Eastern Ghouta had started an open confrontation after Russia ordered for the Faylak al-Rahman militant group to be separated from Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization (banned in Russia) to further discuss their pullout from the area.

The 14th humanitarian pause started in Eastern Ghouta on Monday at 07:00 GMT. Two humanitarian corridors were opened to withdraw civilians and militants. However, militants operating in the area continued shelling, therefore preventing the humanitarian operation from being carried out.
