A drone strike on a Syrian military academy killed more than 60 people, a war monitor has said, with state media blaming"terrorist organisations" for the attack in government-held Homs.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor with a vast network of sources on the ground, reported"more than 60 dead, including military personnel and at least nine civilians", with dozens more wounded.The attack was carried out with"explosive-laden drones", according to the military statement.
On Wednesday, Ankara warned of more intense cross-border air raids, after concluding that militants who staged a weekend attack in the Turkish capital came from Syria. Since Sunday's Ankara attack, which wounded two Turkish security officers and was claimed by the PKK, Ankara has launched strikes on the Kurdish group's positions in northern Iraq.
In the market of the city of Qamishli in Hasakeh province, vendors were anxiously following the escalation on their mobile phones and televisions. "Turkey is looking for pretexts to legitimise its ongoing attacks on our region and to launch a new military aggression," he said.
