ALEPPO, Syria
Syrian army forces have conducted series of attacks in Damascus, the country's capital, and in northern Aleppo province, killing 105 people, according to local sources.
The attacks took place Wednesday, the sources said.
The sources said that 27 people were killed in the suburbs of Damascus when Syrian army forces launched barrel bomb and surface-to-surface missile attacks.
The sources also said that 24 people had been killed in Aleppo, while 18 were killed in Idlib, 17 in Raqqa, 11 in Latakia, five in Homs, two in Daraa and one in Deiruz Zor.
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 that has spiraled into 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.
