Damascus: An attack by pro-Iranian groups supporting the Syrian government killed 11 civilians in an eastern city under the control of Kurdish forces, war monitors said on Friday. Six children were among the victims of heavy bombardment in Dahla in Deir Ezzor province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Fighting broke out on Wednesday as pro-Iranian fighters attacked Kurdish-held areas, according to Britain-based monitors, who rely on a network of sources in Syria.
