At least one person has been killed in a car bomb explosion in the western Syrian city of Homs, as the crisis continues in the Arab country.
Syrian media reports said that the bomb attack took place on Tuesday near a candy shop in the neighborhood of Wadi Dahab, leaving over 20 people injured.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported the explosion, saying that 14 people were wounded in the incident.
Homs has been cleared of militants by the Syrian army, but car bomb explosions recurrently take place in the city.
A bomb attack claimed seven lives in Wadi Dahab on June 12 .
On May 12, the final group of foreign-sponsored Takfiris left the city as part of a deal reached between the Damascus government and the militants on May 4.
The safe exit of militants from Homs was part of the agreement that was brokered by Iran, Russia and the United Nations.
The deal also brought almost all major districts of the city under the control of government forces. The agreement came as part of government efforts to facilitate access to the people trapped in conflict zones.
Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since March 2011. Over 160,000 people have reportedly been killed and millions displaced due to the violence fueled by the foreign-backed militants.
According to reports, the Western powers and their regional allies — especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey — are supporting the militants operating inside Syria.
