BEIRUT: A munitions blast killed 31 regime and allied fighters at a military airport in central Syria Saturday, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, increasing an earlier toll.

State news agency SANA reported earlier that a "technical fault during the transport of expired ammunition" had killed an unspecified number of victims at the Shayrat airbase in Homs province. —AFP
