DAMASCUS
Kabun suburb in east of capital Damascus of Syria resembles a ruined city as a result of missile attacks by Assad forces.
In Kabun whose population is 100,000, over 150 houses were destroyed and damages occurred in 250 houses. Tens of deads and wounded were reported to be taken out of wreckages of destroyed houses.
There are many abandoned cars on the roads which were destroyed due to intensive attacks to Kabun.
Traces of war are seen in all houses, workplaces and mosques.
When an attack starts people do not get out quickly due to sharpshooters. Signs warning against sharpshooters in some streets still exist.
Civilians have been trying to flee Kabun as the attacks by Assad forces from Mount Kasyun and Haresta region continue for ten days.
Talking to AA reporter, local activist Rami Sabuni claimed 25 people in Kabun were affected from the chemical weapons used by Assad forces. Sabuni said people have been living under extremely difficult conditions in the region since the attacks by Assad forces.
