BEIRUT (Reuters) – More than 60 people were killed on Thursday in a drone attack on a military academy in Syria’s central Homs province where a graduation ceremony was taking place, a war monitor and a security source told Reuters.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least nine of them were civilians. Syria’s defence ministry has blamed “terrorists” but did not give further details and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
