Nine people were killed and 16 others wounded on Wednesday in a mortar attack against districts of Syria's central province of Homs, the state-run SANA news agency reported.

The victims were killed in the districts of Ghouta, Insha'at, and al-Hamra in Homs, SANA said, giving no further details.

The attack is part of ongoing mortar attacks that have been staged on daily bases in several Syrian cities, most notably in the capital of Damascus.

Earlier in the day, at least two people were killed in a renewed attack against the Damascus' districts of Bab Touma, and Zablatani.

People in Damascus have become fed up with the indiscriminate shelling by the rebels, who claimed that they target security and military positions, but their mortars always land at residential areas.

The rebels alleged that shelling Damascus comes as a response to the tight siege by the government troops.
