Syrians in this Damascus suburb scramble to save victims of deadly air and artillery strikes. The narrator of this video, uploaded to a social media website, says that there has been a "MiG strike" referring to a type of Russian fighter aircraft. Reuters is unable to independently verify the content of this video. However Syrian state TV on Monday acknowledged there had been an explosion in the area, blaming it on a "terrorist rocket". A separate video said to be filmed on Sunday shows people retrieving the bodies of dead and wounded in what is said to be the Al Ansari suburb of Aleppo. The unnamed narrator claims that a rocket had landed in the area.
