Activists of the embattled outskirt of Daraya west of Damascus reported heavy aerial campaign against one of the first rebellious towns in Syria, saying regime has dropped 58 barrel bombs and three surface-to-surface missiles in the last 48 hours.
No casualties reported by local activists.
Last August, Bashar al-Assad's air force had targeted Daraya with 600 barrel bombs- giant canisters packed with hundreds of pounds of explosives and scrap metal- local monitoring said.
Activists say the Syrian military frequently uses helicopters to drop crude barrel bombs on rebel-held towns and neighborhoods.
Al-Assad has denied that barrel bombs are used by the military.
Syria's conflict began in March 2011 as popular protests against four decades of Assad family rule but changed into armed insurgency under a security force crackdown.
More than 250,000 Syrian people killed and over 12 million forced to flee their homes.
