There are reports of fierce clashes in the Syrian capital Damascus around the airport and in eastern districts after most communications in the country went down. Sebestian Usher reports.
有报道称,叙利亚大部分地区通讯中断,首都大马士革机场周围及东部地区出现了冲突。Sebestian Usher报道。
It’s been difficult to get information out of Syria since the internet and phone lines went down at midday, but activists say a major battle is taking place in the east of Damascus, towards and around the airport. They said the airport road has been closed and flights have stopped. The government denies this, but the BBC has managed to speak to several people in the central of the city. They say they can hear what they call an unprecedented clash in eastern districts held by the rebels. It’s not clear yet if the clashes were initiated by the army of offensive or a rebel attack on the airport.
由于网络和电话线中午中断,外部很难了解叙利亚的情况,但活动人士称大马士革东部机场附近发生了重大战斗。他们称机场道路已经关闭,航班取消。政府对此否认,但BBC已设法采访到市中心的数人,他们说可以听到叛军在东部地区进行的前所未有的战斗,尚不清楚冲突是由军队引起,还是叛军先袭击的机场。
