Casualties Feared in Car Bomb Explosion in Syria's Homs Amid Ceasefire
Preliminary data indicates there are casualties in a car bomb explosion in western Syria's city of Homs, an informed source told Sputnik on Tuesday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The explosion took place in the Wadi Dahab neighborhood in southern Homs, according to the source.
The news comes amid the nationwide
Syrian ceasefire that came into force on December 30 is backed by Russia and Turkey; it has been holding up in general, despite continued reports of violations. The
UN Security Council passed a resolution in December supporting the effort.
On Saturday, two blasts occurred near Bab al-Saghir cemetery in Damascus. Syrian Interior Minister Mohammad Shaar confirmed that at least 40 people were killed and 120 injured as a result of the attack. The ministry also formed a special investigation commission to probe the attack in Damascus.
The Tahrir al Sham militant group, which was organized at the initiative of the Jabhat Fatah al Sham terror group (formerly known as al-Nusra Front), is said to have claimed responsibility for the attack.
