The Syrian regime launched intensive air strikes on Eastern Ghouta, leaving behind 28 civilians dead, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The highest toll was in Douma, the largest town in the Eastern Ghouta region, where raids killed 22 civilians, including two children, and wounded 22, it said.

Eastern Ghouta has been under a regime siege since 2012, and is targeted regularly by air strikes and artillery.
