Syria's city of Homs was bombarded
Syria's city of Homs has been subjected to its most severe bombardment in five months, activists say.
Aircraft and artillery targeted the neighbourhood of Khaldiya, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Activists also reported fierce clashes in the second city Aleppo, and government shelling in the capital Damascus, Hama and Idlib, the BBC reports.
Turkey has meanwhile reinforced its border following a deadly Syrian mortar strike on a Turkish town.
