Syrian government forces have fully captured a district that was a key rebel stronghold in the central city of Homs, state media report.

The Sana news agency said the military had "completely restored security and stability to Khalidiya neighbourhood ".

Activists reported clashes in Khalidiya on Monday morning, but said that most of the area was under army control.

The announcement comes a month after troops launched an offensive to oust rebels from Syria's third largest city.

Only the Old City and a few other districts are still held by the opposition.

On Sunday, the pan-Arab TV station al-Mayadeen broadcast footage of Khalidiya, showing heavily damaged buildings and piles of rubble.

Homs has been a focus of the two-year uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, in which the UN says more than 100,000 people have died.
