Russian strikes kill 37 civilians in Ghouta's Arbin

In Syria, air strikes killed 37 civilians in the Arbin area of the shrinking rebel enclave of Eastern Ghouta near Damascus overnight. 

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights yesterday said, Russian air strikes and incendiary weapons



killed the civilians in a basement from burning or suffocation before a ceasefire came into effect in the area. 

However, Russia has denied being directly involved in air strikes on Eastern Ghouta.
