Escalating attacks, but few answers in Syria – CNN.com

(CNN) — Hours after world leaders created a grim picture of the Syrian war, a new wave of attacks erupted Sunday. The bloody conflict rages — and a solution continues to be elusive.

Here is the latest in the Syrian uprising.

Shelling and deaths

At least 23 people died in shelling and attacks nationwide Sunday, the Local Coordination Committees of Syria said.

In addition to the fatalities, eight people were found executed at a military hospital in Damascus, according to the opposition group. In another incident at a hospital in a Damascus suburb, government forces stormed the building and seized the wounded, the LCC said.

Syria state media reported that “armed terrorist groups … perpetrated a massacre against” a village in Homs. They did not specify the number of people killed.

Government forces also targeted “terrorists and their vehicles” in the biggest city of Aleppo, state media reported.

The government has consistently referred to anti-government forces as terrorists.
