BEIRUT (REUTERS) - A rigged car exploded near a hospital in the Syrian town of al-Rai at the border with Turkey on Sunday (Sept15), killing 10 people and wounding 15, the local council and a medical worker said.
The blast also caused damage in the hospital, said a statement from the council of the town, which lies in a part of northwest Syria under the control of Turkey-backed rebels.
Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency said 12 civilians were killed after a "terror bomb attack" near the frontier.
