Two large explosions have struck the southern city of Daraa, causing multiple casualties and heavy material damage, Syria’s state-run news agency said today.

Sana did not give further information or say what the target of the explosions was.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the blasts went off near a branch of the country’s Military Intelligence in Daraa.

The Observatory, which relies on a network of activists on the ground, says the explosions were followed by clashes between regime forces and rebels fighting to topple president Bashar Assad.
