    “I confirm that this morning at 6.30 a.m., a rocket hit our offices,” said an advisor to the papal nuncio or ambassador, Mario Zenari.

    The rocket landed on a balcony causing damage to the building but no casualties, a nun who was visiting the embassy at the time told AKI.

    “We are all fine,” the unnamed nun told AKI.

    The embassy is located in central Damascus.
