Air strikes on rebel areas of Eastern Ghouta near Damascus killed at least 42 civilians on Friday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday.
The Britain-based monitoring group's head, Rami Abdel Rahman, said the strikes were carried out by Russian warplanes on the Saqba and Kfar Batna areas, in the south of the splintered enclave.
