The source added that one of the shells fell on a bus near the suburb roundabout, injuring civilians, some critically.
The source pointed out that the terrorist attacks caused material damage to a number of cars, houses and the infrastructure.
In Damascus, a source at Police Command said that armed groups fired several shells on Bab Touma and al-Malek (King) Faisal Street, causing material damage to public and private properties and some cars.
In response to the attacks, the army units carried out intensive strikes against the areas from where the shells were fired in the depth of Eastern Ghouta, inflicting heavy losses upon the armed groups.
