The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that its embassy in Damascus had been hit by mortar shells twice in the inner yard of the embassy complex.
Another shell fell near the diplomatic mission, the statement added.
Moscow condemned the shelling, which it blamed on “extremists” with the aims of hindering any peaceful settlement to the war in Syria.
There were no reported casualties.
