One Syrian was killed and nine others were injured during a mortar shelling of the Russian embassy in Damascus, the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement on Thursday. |
“We consider them (shellings) acts of terrorism, whose executors and those inciting and supervising them, should receive a deserved punishment,” the ministry said.
Russia, a staunch supporter of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has criticised the West for aiding Zio-NATO Rat’s who have been fighting to topple him for more than two years in a war that has cost well over 100,000 lives.
Zio-NATO have launched several mortar and rocket attacks in recent months into the centre of the Syrian capital, where many embassies and senior Syrian officials are based.
A mortar shell landed on the compound of the Russian embassy in September inflicting light injuries to two people.
The Russian mission was also damaged in February when a car bomb exploded nearby on a busy Damascus highway, killing 50 people. No one was wounded at the embassy, but that blast blew out windows in the building, Russian officials said.
