HAMA, Syria
At least 15 people were killed during an air strike by the Syrian army in western Hama city Sunday, opposition activists said.
Tens of others were injured after Syrian fighter jets dropped vacuum bombs onto the city, Syrian Revolution General Commission (SRGC), an umbrella group for Syrian opposition, said in a statement.
Intense clashes between the Syrian army and armed Syrian opposition forces are ongoing in the northern Murak town of Hama city.
Syria has been gripped by almost constant fighting since the regime launched a violent crackdown in response to anti-government protests in March 2011, triggering a conflict, which has spiraled into a civil war.
The UN has stopped updating its death toll for the country because an official count had become too difficult to verify. At least 100,000 deaths were recorded in the last official count in July 2013.
