A Syrian opposition group claims army soldiers and pro-government forces have killed at least 15 people in the central province of Hama.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has been the main source of casualties in Syria by Western media, said on Saturday that the incident took place in Sheikh Hadid village late on Friday.
According to the group, it is not clear if all the victims were civilians but at least two women and one child were among them. Ten others were injured in the violence.
Syrian forces and foreign-backed insurgents have been engaged in clashes in Sheikh Hadid and nearby villages.
The militants managed to attack the nearby village of Jelma when the incident happened.
