The Coordinating Committee of the Yarmouk camp said that two Grad rockets were launched by militia belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command which surrounds the camp with other pro-Assad groups. A picture posted by activists showed a building destroyed, serious damage caused to neighbouring structures and the collection of human remains from the area.

The Free Army said that it had foiled attempts by the regime army to storm the camp, but that there are clashes between the two sides taking place in the surrounding area.
