The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has reported three civilian deaths in central Homs.

Thursday's reported killings came after regime forces were said to have pounded the town of Rastan.

Elsewhere, the Britain-based watchdog group reported the deaths of one civilian and one government soldier in eastern Deir Ezzor province. 

"Regime forces killed a young man at dawn in Quriya town in Deir Ezzor," it said.
