Death toll of the regime-backed factions rise to six due to the explosion of the blast of weapons warehouse of the regime-backed factions near the southern entrance of Hama on Hama-Homs road.

The explosion lefts four members of the factions killed and seven wounded as a primary toll of the accident

Earlier, SOHR activists have reported that security regime forces have partially opened al- Jisr al-Ra’es Road in the middle of Damascus after all the branch streets leading to that road have been closed due to the explosion, in the morning, of a bus carrying regime soldiers after detonations of two IEDs. The explosion left at least 14 soldiers dead and four other wounded.

It is worth noting that the bridge is a meeting point between al-Barakamah and Abou Romanah. According to SOHR, the regime forces have cordoned off the area by establishing checkpoints and carefully check the by-passer.

Earlier, SOHR activists had reported hearing two explosions in the capital, Damascus, caused by detonating twin IEDs in a bus carrying regime soldiers near Jisr al-Ra’es in Damascus city centre in the early morning. The explosion left at least 14 soldiers dead. While the death toll is expected to rise further as the attack left several persons injured, some seriously. There are unconfirmed reports of more casualties. It is worth noting that a third IED that had been set to explode in the same area was dismantled.

The twin explosions are the largest in terms of human losses since the regime has completely controlled Damascus and its countryside in 2018 based on the Turkish-Russian deal and the largest since 2017.
