69 dead as US closes Damascus embassy

The Syrian army on Monday launched a new assault on Homs, killing 42 people and wounding dozens, according to activists .

This new offensive, again denied by the regime, comes on the eve of a visit to Damascus by Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, whose country has vetoed Saturday with China a UN resolution condemning repression in Syria.

In total, the violence has killed at least 69 people Monday, including 66 civilians according to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights.
