ISIS claims deadly blasts in 2 Syrian cities
None
A news agency linked with the Islamic State group says the group's militants were behind the multiple attacks on civilian gatherings in two Syrian coastal cities.
Monday's back-to-back bombings occurred in the cities of Tartus, and Jableh, both government strongholds that also house Russian military bases.
State media said the explosions killed at least 65 people, most of them in bus stations in the two cities, and outside a hospital and the electricity company in Jableh.
The one-sentence report by the IS-linked Aamaq news agency offered no details. The agency regularly carries the group's news and claims.
