In southern Damascus, a car bomb exploded at a checkpoint
manned by regime and pro-regime militia troops near the Sinaa and Bustan
al-Dour neighbourhoods, said the Observatory.
State news agency SANA said a civilian was wounded in the blast which caused material damage and it blamed the explosion on "terrorists" - the regime's term for rebels.
Regime forces, meanwhile, kept up their shelling campaign against Barzeh in northern Damascus and Jobar in the east, said the Observatory. The army has tried for months to uproot rebels lodged on the outskirts of the capital.
The Observatory also reported fierce clashes in the Jabal al-Akrad region of Latakia on the Mediterranean coast that killed at least 12 opposition fighters and 19 army and pro-regime paramilitary troops.
Sunday's Jabal al-Akrad violence broke out after rebels assaulted several army checkpoints in the area, said the Observatory, adding that the loyalist air force deployed warplanes to hit back at the opposition forces.
In Ariha, in the northwestern province of Idlib, a child was among four people killed in army shelling, the group added.
Sunday's violence comes a day after at least 148 people were killed across Syria, said the Observatory, which relies on a vast network of activists and medics for its information.[Al jazeera]
