Deadly air strike hits Damascus petrol station

Several people have been killed by an air strike on a petrol station in the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, say activists.

Witnesses said dozens of people had been killed or wounded in the attack on the Nawras station in Mleiha district. There is no confirmation.

Unverified video footage posted online showed charred bodies and vehicles.

One activist told Reuters news agency that warplanes had attacked the petrol station as a consignment of fuel arrived.

The BBC's Lina Sinjab in Damascus says Mleiha is not an opposition stronghold, and civilians appear to have borne the brunt of the attack.

Many of the killed or injured are women and children, she says.

Syria is in the grip of chronic fuel shortages, and motorists often wait for hours in queues at petrol stations.
