ALBAWABA- In a devastating turn of events, the Syrian city of Homs witnessed a staggering loss of life during a graduation ceremony at the Military College.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the death toll has risen to "more than a hundred, with over half identified as graduating officers, and at least 14 civilians."
The attack, executed by unidentified drones, targeted the ceremony attended by high-ranking officers, including the Minister of Defense.
This grim incident adds to the escalating violence, as civilians faced casualties in artillery and missile shelling by regime forces in opposition-controlled areas of northwestern Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had initially reported over sixty deaths, including nine civilians.
The tragic episode raises concerns about the intensifying conflict in Syria and the grave human toll it continues to exact.
