Syria denies reports of firing on Assad’s home, Russian, Iranian diplomatic missions

The Syrian government has denied reports that President Bashar Assad’s home in Damascus, as well as the diplomatic missions of Russia and Iran, have come under fire. Officials at the Russian Embassy did not confirm that the building of the Russian trade mission was fired upon, Itar-Tass reported Wednesday. The building is in the city’s Malki district, a secure neighborhood where Assad used to live before the conflict began.
