At least 11 people were killed and another 40 injured after a terrorist rocket strike in the residential area of Syria’s southwestern city of Daraa, SANA news agency reported Wednesday.

LATAKIA (Sputnik) — According to preliminary information, the rocket strike was conducted against several residential areas in the city. Most of those killed and injured were women and children. 

Syria has been mired in a civil war since 2011, with the government army fighting opposition factions and terrorist groups, such as the Islamic State and the Nusra Front.

On September 30, Russia began an anti-terrorist air campaign in the country at the request of President Bashar Assad.
