LONDON - A drone attack on a Syrian military academy in Homs has killed more than 100 people, a monitoring group says.
Ten civilians were among those who died when drones carrying explosives targeted a graduation ceremony attended by cadets' families, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

The army blamed "terrorist groups backed by known international forces".
There was no immediate claim from the rebels and jihadists battling the government in the country's civil war.
The drone attack is believed to have been launched from opposition-held areas north-west of Homs.
Syria's state news agency, Sana, quoted a statement from the General Command of the Armed Forces as saying that several drones carrying explosives targeted the Homs military academy just after the afternoon graduation ceremony had ended.
"The aggression resulted in the death of several civilians and military personnel [and] in addition the injury of dozens of the invited families, as well as several participating students," it added, without giving any figures.
