Syrians have begun burying the dozens of people killed in a large-scale drone attack on a Military Academy in the Western city of Homs.

Coffins draped in Syrian flags on Friday lined the streets outside the Homs military hospital.

On Thursday, several drones attacked a graduation ceremony in the academy’s courtyard, where families had gathered with the new officers.

Syria’s Ministry of Health said at least 89 people had been killed, including 31 women and five children.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian conflict, put the toll at above 120.

Syria has declared three days of national mourning.

There have been no claims of responsibility for the attack.
