25 killed 175, injured in Syria blasts

Syria: At least 25 people were killed and 175 others injured as two blasts hit the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, media reports said on Friday.

The state Sana news agency said the explosions caused “deaths and injuries”.

The blasts were the first in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, which has been relatively quiet since the uprising against President Bashar al- Assad’s regime erupted in March last year.

Last month, a suicide attack in the capital Damascus killed 26 people. Mr Assad’s crackdown on the uprising has killed more than 5,400 people, according to the UN.
