DAMASCUS. – No Armenians were injured in a shelling in Yarmuk camp in
the Syrian capital on Saturday, representative of local Armenian
community Nazareth Elmadjian said by phone.

`Not a single Armenian was killed or injured,’ he told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He found it difficult to speak about the details noting the attack was
carried out by military helicopters.

`They were not missiles but rather small-caliber shells,’ he said.

observers confirmed the reports.
