'Massacre' reported in Syria's Hama province

Syrian pro-government forces have killed 78 people in a single village in Hama province, many of them women and children, activists say.

The opposition said government-backed militia stabbed and shot their victims in the village of Qubair.

Damascus denied a massacre, saying "terrorists" had killed nine people.

Neither account could be confirmed, but they come less than two weeks after 108 people were killed in Houla.
