3 wounded in southern Syria after shots fired at protesters at ruling party's local headquarters
- Anti-Government protests in Sweida, southern Syria, escalated as security guards from the ruling Baath party fired shots at protesters attempting to raid their headquarters, resulting in at least three people being wounded.
- The protests, initially driven by economic concerns, have gained momentum and transformed into calls for the ousting of President Bashar Assad's government, as demonstrators have targeted Baath party offices and destroyed images of Assad's family.
- Despite efforts by authorities to defuse the protests, the support of the Druze community leaders has brought more people to join the demonstrations, reflecting the worsening living conditions and discontent with the government's handling of the country's economy.
