Heavy clashes in Syria near Lebanon border

Syria's state-run media and opposition activists are reporting heavy clashes in the strategic central province of Homs near the border with Lebanon.

The SANA news agency says four key villages - Qadesh, Mansourieh, Saadiyeh and Radwaniyeh - have fallen under government control on Saturday. The villages are close to the contested town of Qusair. (AP)
