Twin Blasts Near School in Syria’s Homs: Number of Children Casualties
"Two terrorist explosions near the Akrameh al-Makhzumi school and the Zaim hospital caused deaths and injuries," said state television.

Both the official news agency SANA and the so-called "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights", a UK-based watchdog reported the attacks, and said one of them had been caused by a car bomb.

"Children were among the casualties in the blasts," said Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman, adding that it was unclear what had caused the second blast.

The explosions took place as children were leaving school at the end of classes on Wednesday.

It was the deadliest strike to hit the government-controlled area in months.
