Syria's Homs under fire
- 12 years ago
Explosions rip through the Syrian city of Homs.
Video uploaded to a social media site on Wednesday purportedly shows government forces shelling the rebel bastion, despite a ceasefire.
Reuters cannot independently verify the footage.
The 7-day old truce, agreed to by President Bashar al-Assad, held in some parts of the country and is being monitored by a handful of U.N. peacekeepers.
However, activists and rebels claim cities like Hama, Idlib and Deraa are still under heavy fire and shelling.
