Syrian state media say two people have been killed in shelling on President Bashar Assad's ancestral village of Qardaha.
Syria's state broadcaster said today the village has been shelled by "terrorists" for two days straight. It says two people were wounded Sunday.
Qardaha is located in the coastal mountains of northwest Syria. Assad's father, the late president Hafez Assad, was born in Qardaha. He was buried there in 2000.
