At least 20 people have reportedly been killed in a Syrian government air strike in a rebel-held town south of Damascus. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says six children were among the dead. The reported strike comes one day after Syrian opposition activists claimed 36 people, including 14 children, died in government bombings. On Friday, international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi held a new round of talks with top U.S. and Russian envoys in Switzerland, with no apparent breakthroughs.

Lakhdar Brahimi: “We stressed again that, in our view, there was no military solution to this conflict. We underscored the necessity to reach a political solution based on the Geneva communiqué of the 30th of June, 2012.”
