Post Ghouta victory, Assad-led forces launch fresh offensive
Eastern Ghouta, Syria
Sources confirmed reports of a military operation underway along the road that links Homs to the neighbouring town Al Salamiya in Hama province
According to British NGO Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), Bashar al-Assad-led forces launched an offensive targetting provinces of Homs and Hama on Sunday.
The offensive came after the Syrian government forces proclaimed victory in the Eastern Ghouta district on the outskirts of Damascus on Saturday.
The SOHR statement reported shelling by the regime forces that targetted the northern countryside of Homs along with a renewed shelling targetting south of Hama.
Sources confirmed reports of a military operation underway along the road that links Homs to the neighbouring town Al Salamiya in Hama province.
Clashes between the government and rebel forces continue in areas like Al Hamirat, Selim, Al Amariya and Quibe al Kurdi, among other locations.
Backed by Russian firepower, the government forces launched their offensive against eastern Ghouta in February.
