A drone attack on a military academy in Homs killed at least 80 people Thursday in one of the deadliest attacks in years in government-held Syria.

A drone attack struck a packed graduation ceremony for military officers in the Syrian city of Homs on Thursday, killing and wounding dozens reports said.
Videos shared by Arab channels revealed a panicked scene: Gunshots filled the air as people ran for cover, hiding behind columns of a building decorated with Baathist slogans, from the ruling party of President Bashar al-Assad. The wounded lay on the ground screaming. Cadets in khaki uniforms tried to help them.
The airstrikes targeted two schools, a market, and an electricity company, said Munir al-Mustapha, deputy director of Syrian Civil Defense, better known as the “White Helmets,” an emergency response group that operates in rebel-held areas and is often first on the scene after government attacks.At least five people were killed Thursday, Mustapha told The Post. “There is a systematic and clear targeting of civilians [by] the terrorist Assad regime,” he said.
