At least 35 people have been killed and many more injured in several suicide attacks outside Syrian military facilities in the city of Homs, according to RIA Novosti citing a local source.
“The number of fatalities has reached 35 people, dozens are wounded. A total of over six suicide bombers blew themselves up near two security facilities,” a source familiar with the matter told RIA Novosti on Saturday. The Syrian state security service’s local HQ and the military intelligence building were targeted.
“The twin blasts killed 32 people and injured 24,” Al-Barrazi told Syrian state TV later in the day, according to TASS.
The attackers had attempted to enter the headquarters, al-Barazi added. “The security detail repelled the attack and prevented the militants from breaking into the buildings, but the terrorists managed to detonate their explosive deviсes,” he told Syrian TV channel Al-Ikhbariya, as cited by TASS.
Al-Nusra Front, which now calls itself Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, has claimed responsibility for the attacks, Lebanon-based TV channel Al-Mayadeen reported.
