"Syria's Mourning: Deadly Drone Attack Shakes Homs"

Funerals are being held for the victims of a drone attack on a military academy in Homs, Syria, which killed at least 89 people, including 31 women and five children. In retaliation, government forces have intensified shelling and missile attacks on opposition-held Idlib, resulting in the deaths of 11 civilians, including a two-year-old child. The attack in Homs marks an unprecedented use of drones against government forces, prompting the Syrian regime to blame "terrorist" groups and vow a forceful response. The United Nations Secretary-General expressed concern about the drone attack, while Russian President Putin offered condolences to Syrian President al-Assad.
