An attack Thursday on a Syrian military academy killed more than 110 people, a war monitor said, with state media blaming “terrorist organisations” for the deadly drone strike in government-held Homs. Separately, Turkish air raids in the country’s Kurdish-held northeast killed at least 11 people, according to Kurdish forces, after Ankara had threatened retaliation for a bomb attack.
