Three people were killed Tuesday in Syria's capital Damascus in renewed mortar attacks that targeted two districts of the capital.

The mortars landed at the Baghdad Street in the northern district of Barzeh, Xinhua reported citing the state-run SANA news agency. It gave no further details.

A day earlier, 11 people were killed when mortar shells struck the al-Jamilieh district of the northern province of Aleppo.

The attacks are the latest in an endless series of indiscriminate mortar attacks the rebels opted for in a bid to destabilise daily life in the government-controlled areas, mainly Damascus.
