Syrian activists say government forces kill 5
BEIRUT -- Activists say Syrian government forces have killed five civilians in the latest alleged violations of a US and Russian-brokered cease-fire.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says a woman and child were killed Saturday in Talbiseh, in the central Homs province. It says two men were killed outside Damascus and a child was killed in Aleppo province.
The Syrian Civil Defense group in Homs says government artillery caused the deaths in Talbiseh. A video of the rescue mission shows bodies strewn across the ground.
Syria's state news agency SANA says insurgents have violated the cease-fire 12 times in the last 12 hours.
