Gunmen kill woman in Damascus nightclub attack
Shafaq News/ On Sunday, armed assailants killed a woman in a nightclub in Damascus, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR) reported.
The gunmen opened fire indiscriminately, killing a female dancer and injuring others. The assailants fled the scene, and no group has claimed responsibility.
Local sources told Shafaq News the assault came after complaints from residents living near the venue.
The incident occurred just hours after the Syrian Ministry of Interior announced the arrest of several individuals involved in a separate April 29 attack on another nightclub in central Damascus. Surveillance footage from that incident showed armed men affiliated with security forces assaulting patrons, including women, using rifle butts.
العصابات المتفلتة فى #سوريا تهاجم ملهى ليلي وتعتدى بالضرب على المرتادين .🔷 هذا يدل على الهمجية والغوغائية فى التعامل مع الأحداث , كان من الممكن إصدار تعميم على كافة #الملاهى_الليلية إغلاق أبوابها وعدم إحياء ليالي السهر.🔶 ثم هل يحتاج الأمر لكل هذه الإعداد للهجوم على الملهى ؟ pic.twitter.com/4G9skhObac
