RT Reporters Come Under Fire in Southwest Syria

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Mortars landed on Sunday near the RT TV channel crew, while they were filming in the city of Daraa in southwest Syria, an RT correspondent reported.

"2 mortars [were] fired from opposition turf near where we were filming in #Daraa City today, " Lizzie Phelan said via Twitter.

​According to Phelan, later contacted by RT, her colleagues were talking to local people when the mortars were fired, which made the crew interrupt the interview. The journalist presumed that the fire could have been a targeted attack, as the area is reportedly very rarely targeted by mortars.

No one was injured in the attack.
