They said the bombardments centerd on the Baba Amro, Inshaat, Khalidiya, Al-Bayyada and Jouret Al-Shayyah districts of the city of one million people.
Earlier, the British-based opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 12 people had been killed in Baba Amro and another in Khalidiya.
Activists and residents have reported hundreds of people killed over the last week in the heaviest assault on the city since an uprising against Assad erupted last March. The revolt started with street protests but has become an armed insurgency in many parts of the country.
Authorities say they are fighting foreign backed “terrorists” in Homs.
