The country’s health ministry said 89 people had been killed, including 31 women and five children.
Coffins carrying victims and draped in the Syrian flag were sent out from the Homs military hospital this morning.
There have been no claims of responsibility for the attack. Syria’s defence and foreign ministries blamed what they described as terrorist groups, without specifying further, and vowed to respond “with full force”. Throughout the night and into this morning, Syrian government troops blasted artillery shells into rebel-held territory in the northern provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, according to the Observatory and a civil defence group known as the White Helmets, which operates in opposition-held areas.
