Activists said Syrian troops are shelling opposition fighters-held areas and clashing with them in several locations across the country, according to AP. The assault is part of a regime offensive that began earlier this week to recover territories controlled by opposition fighters. The Local Coordination Committees and Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human rights said troops bombarded the northern town of Anadan in the northern Aleppo province on Friday. The Observatory says one person was killed. The groups say troops have also shelled the opposition fighters-held neighborhoods of Khaldieh and Jouret al-Shayah in the central Homs province. Syrian troops have been sweeping through villages and towns in Syria's northern, central, southern and seaside provinces this week.
