"At least 11 people have been killed and 15 injured after Syrian warships and tanks opened fire on the port city of Latakia in two residential districts, activists have said.

Sunday's deaths were reported as a military assault on Latakia extended into a second day.

On Saturday, at least five people were killed and several were injured as at least 20 tanks and armoured personnel carriers rolled into the city.

Al Jazeera's Nisrene El-Shamayleh reporting from the Jordan-Syria border on Sunday said: "We understand from the activist and the Local Co-ordination Committee (LCC) that the Syrian tanks and the boats that are mounted with machine guns have halted opening fire and shelling neighbourhoods right now.

"However there is a curfew that has been imposed on Latakia and the surrounding neighbourhoods."....."
