At least seven Syrian security personnel were killed and more than 20 wounded Thursday when a drone attack targeted a military academy in Homs province, a war monitor said.

"Seven dead and more than 20 regime officers wounded in a violent explosion in the area of the military academy in Homs, caused by an attack by drones during a graduation ceremony," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

State television reported a "terrorist attack" at the site on its channels on the Telegram messaging app, saying there were "a large number of casualties".
