Syria conflict: Footage shows aftermath in Damascus
There has been further heavy fighting in the Syrian capital, Damascus, and the northern city of Aleppo.
Activists said government forces had stormed Hajar al-Aswad, a southern suburb of Damascus, and that the situation for residents was desperate.
This footage, which cannot be independently verified, shows damage to buildings and a bomb crater, apparently in Hajar al-Aswad.
State media said troops had killed many of what they called "terrorists".
