(Zaman Al Wasl)- Two civilians killed and 6 more wounded in regime air strikes on the northern countryside of central Homs province, activists said Friday.
Regime war planes carried out 6 strikes on Rastan city, killing a father and his son, and leaving 6 more people dead, according to local activists.
Despite the U.S. and Russia-engineered truce that went into effect on Feb.27, the Syrian regime has continued its hostilities in rebel-held towns of Homs.
7 people have been killed this week in Talbiseh town while the aerial campaign targeted most town of then northern countryside.
In northern Aleppo province, at least 210 combatants died in a surge in violence around the second city of Aleppo this week, an activist group said Friday.
Among those killed from Sunday to Thursday were 82 army troops and pro-government militiamen, 94 members of the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front and allied rebel groups, and 34 ISIS extremists, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The spike in violence, which has threatened to derail a shaky truce, has seen multiple fronts around Syria's second city flare up as a new round of peace talks got under way in Geneva.
The heaviest casualties came near Al-Eis in the south of Aleppo province where 50 government troops and loyalist militia fighters were killed along with 61 Al-Nusra and allied fighters, the Observatory said. (With AFP)
