DAMASCUS, April 30 (Xinhua) -- A mortar shell struck on Tuesday the vicinity of the Iraqi Embassy in the Syrian capital of Damascus, leaving material damages only, local media reported.
Activists' Local Coordination Committees (LCC) said the rebels fired mortars at the Tishreen Presidential Palace near Abu- Rummaneh.
But witnesses denied the report, saying the shell missed its target and landed instead near the Iraqi embassy.
Earlier in the day, a deadly explosion occurred near the old headquarters of the Interior Ministry in Damascus, killing at least 14 people.
Also, two mortars landed near Damascus' Free Zone in the Jamarek area, the pro-government Sham FM radio said.
Meanwhile, according to the LCC, mortar round landed near a church located between al-Jazmatieh and al-Ghawas lanes in the capital's central district of al-Midan.
Explosions and mortar attacks have become increasingly common in Syria as the al-Qaida terror network has become active on Syrian soil, especially after aligning with the radical al-Nusra Front
