At least ten people have been killed in suspected Russian air strikes on a market in a Damascus suburb.
Baraa, a Syrian activist in Douma, told Al Jazeera on Friday that Russian air strikes had hit the Kouatly market in Douma, just outside of the capital.
"For the past half an hour we have been hearing warplanes roaming above us. The air strikes targeted a busy market around 15 minutes ago," he said.
"Most of those killed and injured are women and men.
"We know those warplanes are Russian because of the type of missiles that were used.
"The rebels also have special devices that can intercept signals from approaching warplanes, they are Russian," Baraa said.
Douma, which lies east of Damascus, has been under intense government attack for weeks.
