The Britain-based group said the shelling, which began at dawn, was taking place in several neighborhoods of the central city.

Opposition groups and activists reported a "massacre" overnight Friday in Homs, saying more than 200 civilians were killed during a heavy bombardment by regime forces who they said fired tank shells, nail bombs and mortars.

On Sunday, activists reported more shelling in the city, with at least 23 civilians killed.
