Another 65 were injured, RIA Novosti reported citing a source in local police. "Twenty-three people have been killed and at least 65 hospitalized with injuries of varying degrees," the police source said. RT's Lizzie Phelan reports from Syria that the attack took place in a very densely-populated part of Latakia. "All of the reports so far are suggesting that all of those killed and injured are civilians," she said. One shell reportedly fell near the city's Tishreen university and another hit a bus stop. Other reports said that two mortars hit near the university, another claimed that one of the mortars hit near a girls' high school.
