TERRORISTS shelled the Russian embassy in Syria yesterday as the US air-dropped 45 tonnes of arms into the country’s north-east.
Two mortar shells landed minutes apart in and near the embassy compound in Damascus, scattering Syrians who had gathered to thank Russia for its intervention in the country’s civil war.
Police told participants to disperse for fear of further shelling. No-one was reported injured.
