A Syrian search-and-rescue group has said the death toll from an explosion that destroyed two apartment buildings in a rebel-held town in the country’s north-west has risen to 67.
The Civil Defence, also known as the White Helmets, said rescuers are still searching through the rubble in Sarmada, looking for survivors from the blast. It says 35 wounded people have already been found.
The Observatory said an arms depot in the basement of a building had detonated, bringing down two five-storey apartment buildings.
