Local sources identified one of the victims as 3-year old Qamar Liwa al-Abd. The girl’s mother, Mariam Nasir al-Masri, was among the civilians injured in the shelling.
The source of the shelling has not been identified, so far. Sasa and the areas surrounding it are under the complete control of government forces.
Damascus has witnessed several small terrorist attacks, since the beginning of this year. On June 27, Talib Ibrahim, a Syrian political analyst who is known for his pro-government views, survived an assassination attempt, which injured his wife and son.
