The shells hit Baramakeh and Kafar Susah districts in the city center on Saturday. Some 13 citizens, including two children, were wounded in the shelling.
The resulting explosions set fire to a number of cars and caused huge material damage to buildings and businesses.
Reports also say that the Damascus suburb of Jaramana was hit by mortar shells.
