A Syrian pro-government newspaper is reporting 26 soldiers, including seven officers, have been killed in an explosion blamed on a technical error in central Syria.
Al-Watan quoted a military official as describing Saturday's explosion at the Shayrat air base in the Homs province as severe.
The official news agency SANA reported an explosion Saturday at the base, saying it killed an undetermined number of soldiers. It said the blast was caused by a technical error while transporting ammunition.
