A total of 50 people have been killed and 24 others injured in several suicide bombings outside Syrian military facilities in the city of Homs, according to SANA, with Damascus saying the attacks were aimed at undermining the Geneva peace talks.

Six simultaneous suicide bombings targeted two security centers and surrounding areas in Homs earlier Saturday, the official SANA news agency reported, citing the Syrian Foreign Ministry.

Syrian Army General Hassan Daaboul, the chief of the province’s military security unit, is said to be among the victims.

Homs Governor Talal al-Barazi told Syria’s Al-Ikhbariya TV that the security service’s local HQ and the military intelligence building had been the terrorists’ targets.
