Syria’s health minister says a drone attack that hit a packed military graduation ceremony in the central city of Homs has killed 80 people and wounded 240. Health Minister Hassan al-Ghabash says civilians, including children, and military personnel are among those killed Thursday. He says there are concerns the death toll could rise further as many of the wounded are in serious condition. The strike is one of the deadliest recent attacks on an army that’s been fighting a civil war for more than a decade. Syria’s military said drones laden with explosives targeted the ceremony crowded with young officers and their families. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
