Airstrikes on suburbs of Syrian capital kill 17
Government assaults on Eastern Ghouta, situated on the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, have been frequent in recent weeks and are believed to be part of the Syrian government's strategy to retake rebel-held positions.
A propaganda statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin about the victory in Syria, with which he began his fourth presidential election campaign, has turned into a shameful farce, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) Oleksandr Turchynov has said.
The Britain-based watchdog Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which closely monitors the Syrian civil war, said most of the airstrikes were carried out by Russian jets.
"I was with other people when a projectile fell nearby", said 33-year-old Mustafa Abu Badr, who was slightly wounded in the head.
Eastern Ghouta, home to 400,000 residents, has been cut off from food and medical aid since 2013. It said the Russian air group in Syria was "combat-ready".
At least 64 percent of these attacks were carried out by the Syrian military, with the rest committed by Russian forces, non-state groups or unknown attackers.

UP Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Shahi called it a conspiracy by opposition parties to defame the government. In such a situation, farmers were forced to dump their produce on the streets", said Verma.
The deadliest airstrikes hit the Hammuriyeh district, leaving 12 civilians including two children, the United Kingdom based war monitor said.
The Syria Civil Defence said two children and two women were among the six people killed in the air strikes on Arbin, and that another three civilians were killed by government shellfire in Beit Sawa.
There was no immediate comment from the Russian military, which is providing air support to government forces in the area but insists it has never targeted civilians.
Rebels first attacked the installation seven weeks ago.
Moscow says it only attacks hardline Islamists.
