A car bomb attack in the Syrian city of Homs has killed at least six people and injured 20 others.
According to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of spies working for the foreign-backed Syrian opposition, "At least six people were killed, including women and children, and 20 others wounded in a car bomb attack on the Zahraa district" on Monday.
The Syrian state news agency SANA also confirmed the report.
The Syrian army has recently conducted successful clean-up operations across the country, inflicting heavy losses on the militants.
On Sunday, the army said it gained full control of the town of Yabroud, the last major stronghold of foreign-backed militants near the Lebanese border.
The takeover of Yabroud will cut supply lines of the foreign-sponsored militants. The advance is considered a major gain for the Syrian army, which has been engaged in a fierce battle against foreign-backed militants for three years.
On Saturday, head of Syria’s foreign-backed opposition, Ahmed Jarba, appealed to foreign supporters to provide the militants with more weaponry.
He said the militants need the weapons to fight both the Syrian army and al-Qaeda-linked groups particularly the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Syria has been the scene of deadly violence since March 2011. Over 130,000 people have reportedly been killed and millions displaced due to the turmoil.
