A bomb blast killed four people and wounded others near a Red Crescent centre in government-held Homs city in central Syria on Thursday, state television said.

“A bomb exploded near a Red Cross centre in the Zahraa neighborhood,” a breaking news alert said.

“Four civilians were killed and others wounded, some of them seriously,” it added.

In September, four people were killed in an explosion at the entrance to the neighborhood that was claimed by the ISIL group.

The terrorist group also claimed a double bomb attack in the neighborhood in February that killed 57 people.
