The clashes also led to explosion of a workshop used by al-Nusra Front terrorists for building bombs and rockets in the northern city of Aleppo, our correspondent said on Wednesday.

As fighting raged among different armed group in Syria, Syrian army advanced in Homs, especially in al-Khalidiya neighborhood, forcing the militants to retreat from the strategic area.

The Syrian army has conducted successful operations against the foreign-backed Takfiri militants over the past weeks, with the army establishing control over the strategically important town of Qusayr, near the Lebanese border, in early June.

Crisis in Syria started in March 2011, when pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of Western and regional states.

The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.

As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government boosts its political and military support to Takfiri extremists.

Washington has remained indifferent about warnings by Russia and other world powers about the consequences of arming militant groups.
