Middle East: Syria violence rages despite peace pledge

Syrian forces have attacked several opposition bastions despite a ceasefire pledge, according to activist reports, as Russia said the opposition would never defeat President Bashar al-Assad's army even if "armed to the teeth".

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said troops began shelling several towns and villages early on Wednesday.

"From the Turkish border in the northeast to Daraa in the south, military operations are ongoing," Rami Abdel Rahman of the Britain-based group, told the AFP news agency.
