Explosions rocked the capital Damascus, as witnesses said that warplanes launched their heaviest air raids yet across Syria.
A blast struck on Monday near a bakery in Jaramana, a southeastern district of Damascus controlled by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, killing at least 11 people, including children and women, and injuring scores, according to both activists and state news agency SANA.
A second explosion was reported in al-Hajar al-Aswad neighbourhood.
Activists there said an airstrike by government forces struck a bus and left at least 10 people killed. Meanwhile state TV said it was a "terrorist" car bomb that left an unspecified number of victims.
Lena al-Shami, an activist in Damascus, said: "The regime is trying to cover up the massacre it caused by the shelling on the bus. So they are calling it a car bomb."
Al-Hajar al-Aswad was the scene of intense mid-summer combat between rebels and the army when fighting broke out in several districts of the Syrian capital.
Activists said that warplanes launched 60 airstrikes on Monday, the most intense air raids across the country since the uprising began 19 months ago. The suburbs of the capital Damascus were particularly hard hit.
The violence brought a bloody end to a failed attempt at a four-day ceasefire, during which 500 people were reported dead. At least 80 people were killed on Monday alone, activists said.
