Baku – APA. The Russian embassy in Damascus came under a mortar attack on October 3, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said, adding that fortunately nobody was hurt, TASS reported.
"On October 3 the Russian diplomatic mission in Damascus came under a mortar attack. One of the shells crashed on the embassy’s territory near the residential compound," the Foreign Ministry said in a commentary. "By sheer coincidence none of the embassy staff was hurt. The building suffered damage. Two mines exploded near the embassy."
"We regard the shelling of the Russian embassy in Damascus as a consequence following actions by those who, like the United States and some of its allies, provoke continuation of the bloody conflict in Syria by flirting with militants and extremists of all sorts," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
