At least 10 people have been killed and 25 others injured in a car bomb that went off in a square in Syria's coastal city of Latakia, according to state media and a monitoring group.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 10 people were killed and dozens injured on Wednesday in a rare car bombing in the government stronghold.
"Terrorists detonated a white van loaded with large amounts of explosives that was parked in front of Imad Ali School at al-Hamam Square in Lattakia, claiming the lives of 10 civilians, injuring 25 others, and causing material damage to homes, cars, and private properties," Syrian state news agency, SANA, reported.
