There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the blasts, but the Islamic State group has regularly targeted several of the areas hit on Monday.
Two violent explosions hit the Arzouna bridge area at the entrance to the northwestern coastal city of Tartous, the Observatory and state news agency SANA said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a Britain-based monitor, said the blast hit a checkpoint belonging to the Kurdish Asayesh security forces. The Kremlin’s intervention in Syria in September 2015 has made Russian Federation a primary target for Isis violence, as its backing of the government in Damascus essentially changed the course of the civil war.
However, None has taken the responsibility for the attacks so far but as the city has been a usual target for the IS Terrorists, It’s been said that the IS terrorists are the mind behind the attacks. A vehicle bomb blew up at the Arzoneh bridge and was followed by a suicide bombing.
“It’s an area that houses officers and their families”.
The extremist group’s Aamaq media agency posted that the Monday morning suicide attack killed and wounded 15 people. The bombing caused the brief closure of the Tartus-Homs highway, according to state TV.
The deadliest incident was outside Tartous, home to a Russian naval base and in the heartland of President Bashar al-Assad’s Alawite sect.
At least 13 people were killed and scores injured in two auto bombings in regime-held areas in Syria on Monday, according to local media.
The blasts occurred in different places and inflicted sizeable damage.
In May, ISIL claimed twin suicide bombings in Tartus and neighbouring Jableh that killed more than 160 people.
The bombings hit a bridge outside the provincial capital Tartous city, killing at least 35 people and wounding 43, state media said.
Truce talks were complicated on Sunday as government forces and their allies laid siege to the rebel-held eastern side of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city before the war which Assad is determined to fully recapture.
In the north-eastern city of Hassakeh, a suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed eight people, Sana said.
Four people were killed and as many others wounded in the explosion.
The first bombing happened in the central city of Homs at 7.14 a.m. local time (0414 GMT), when a booby-trapped auto was detonated after being discovered by government soldiers at a checkpoint at the Bab Tadmur area.
