- 8 years ago
At least 25 people were killed in twin car bomb blasts that hit the Syrian city of Homs on Sunday, a monitoring group said, with state media confirming the deadly attacks.
At least 100 others were wounded by the explosions in the city center's Zahra district, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
State television put the death toll at 14 people with 29 wounded.
Pro-Damascus channel al-Ikhbariya showed footage of damaged shop fronts, debris littering the streets, wounded people and charred or burning cars.
Sunday's attacks also came a day after government advances against Islamic State.
There was no immediate claim from the group, however.
