15 children killed in air strike on Eastern Ghouta school

In Syria, an air strike on a school in the rebel-held enclave of Eastern Ghouta has killed 15 children and two women. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, the bombing raid hit Arbin, a key town in the enclave, that has been under attack by government troops for over a month. 

The Britain-based monitor said, three missiles



from a single air strike hit the school, where the underground level was being used as a shelter. It said the raids were suspected to have been carried out by Russia. 

Moscow has said, it is helping the Syrian government finish off fighters in Ghouta but has denied carrying out air strikes against civilians.
