Syria on Friday held funerals for scores of people killed in a drone attack on a graduation ceremony at a military academy in the Homs region the previous day, one of the bloodiest strikes against the military in more than 12 years of war. Several weaponized drones hit the Homs Military Academy's courtyard where families were gathered with the new officers on Thursday, minutes after Defense Minister Ali Mahmoud Abbas had left. Syria declared three days of mourning.

Naji Malyaib stressed that the drone strike targeted Homs, a key city for the Assad government, linking the center of the country to the sea coast in the west and the border with Iraq in the east
