Moscow is concerned about a reported surge of violence in Syria and supports international intervention, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday. As many as 1,300 people have been killed in the cities of Latakia and Tartus in three days, including more than 800 civilians, according to news reports.
