A mortar attack on the Damascus Opera House killed two people on Sunday, state media reported, as government forces pressed a campaign against rebels on the Syrian capital's outskirts.
"Two people were killed and five others wounded by a mortar round that hit the Damascus Opera House" near key government and military buildings on Umayyad Square, the official SANA news agency said.
The attack damaged the Opera House, which was inaugurated by President Bashar al-Assad in 2004.
