“Akhbar al-Aan” Facebook page shared today photos taken at night of fire and smoke rising from behind a civilian area with high buildings.

The page said these are photos being shared of attacks on military bases in Hama province in reference to the explosions in Assad regime bases in Hama countryside today.

Following a search conducted by Verify-Sy it turns out these photos were taken from al-Yarmouk Camp in Damascus which is being bombed by Assad regime and Russian warplanes.

The photos were taken by photo/grapher Rami al-Sayed and shared on AFP website under the title: A picture taken late on April 28, 2018 shows the lit up skyline of a southern district of the Syrian capital Damascus, during regime strikes targeting the Islamic State group in the Palestinian camp of Yarmouk, and neighbouring districts.
