Military statement:

Continuing their criminal approach and continuing to shed Syrian blood, armed terrorist organizations supported by well-known international parties targeted the graduation ceremony of military college officer students in Homs with drones carrying explosive ammunition immediately after the ceremony ended this afternoon, resulting in the several martyrs, both civilians and military personnel, and dozens of wounded, including critical injuries among the invited families, including women and children, in addition to several college students participating in the graduation.

The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces considers this cowardly terrorist act an unprecedented criminal act, and affirms that it will respond with full force and decisiveness to these terrorist organizations wherever they exist, and stresses that the planners and executors of this criminal act will be held accountable, for which they will pay dearly.
