Local Editor
A string of terrorist bomb attacks hit across Syria on Monday, martyring at least 23 people and wounding dozens more, state media said.
The blasts hit government-held Tartous and Homs, as well as Hasakeh, which is mostly controlled by Kurdish forces but where the regime maintains a presence.
State media said at least 11 people had been martyred and 45 injured in a double bomb attack just outside the city of Tartous, in the coastal province of the same name.
"Two terrorist blasts on Arzuna bridge, the first a car bomb and the second a suicide bomber who detonated his explosive belt when people gathered to help the wounded," state television said.
State media also reported eight people martyred in a bombing in Hasakeh, in the northeast of the country.
According to information, the blast hit a checkpoint belonging to the Kurdish Asayesh security forces.
In central Homs city, state media said at least three people were martyred in a car bomb at the entrance to the al-Zahraa neighborhood.
Al-Zahraa has also been regularly targeted in bomb attacks, including a devastating double bomb blast in February that killed 57 people and was claimed by Daesh [Arabic Acronym of the terrorist "ISIS"/"ISIL" group].
State television broadcast images from the aftermath of the blast in Homs, showing rubble strewn on the streets and smoke rising from the charred remains of vehicles.
Another bomb attack was also reported on the al-Sabura road west of the capital Damascus, with state media saying one person had been martyred and three injured in that bombing.
