(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The Syrian opposition inside the country accused on Saturday regime forces for bombing Jober Al-Demashqi area with poisonous gas which caused dozens of people suffering from suffocation.
Opposition Syria Direct news outlet said Bashar Al-Assad forces bombed Jobar near the capital Damascus with poisonous gas in four air raids, causing suffocation to 30 people, as doctors suggested the gas might be chlorine.
The agency added that this was the fourth time that Jobar area has been targeted with poisonous gas since the announcement that the Syrian regime's arsenal of chemical weapons was completely destroyed.
The reports said the shelling came after Bashar Al-Assad's forces failed to achieve any significant progress on the front of Jobar in an attempt to regain control of areas seized by rebels, especially in Al-Arfah barrier near the center of the capital of the Abbasid Square in Damascus.
The poisonous gas attack comes after rebels managed to regain control of two security points in Al-Manasher area after clashes with regime forces on several fronts.
