DAMASCUS/AMMAN (Reuters) - A bomb attack on an army bus in Damascus on Wednesday killed at least 14 people, state media reported, the deadliest bombing in the Syrian capital in years, while army shelling in rebel-held Idlib killed 11 civilians, rescue workers said. The attack on the rebel-held town of Ariha, which took place shortly after the Damascus bombing, had caused the biggest civilian death toll in the Idlib area since March, 2020, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. A decade of conflict in Syria has killed hundreds of thousands of people and fractured the country. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the Damascus bombing, which hit a bus carrying army personnel in the middle of the city at around 6:45 a.m. (0345 GMT), state television reported. A military source quoted by state media said the bus was blown up by two bombs that had been attached to the vehicle in advance. A third device was defused by an army engineering unit.
