A terrorist attack struck the Imam Ali Mosque in the Wadi al-Dhahab neighborhood of Homs on Friday, killing and wounding worshippers during weekly prayers, according to Syrian media and regional networks.

Syria’s official news agency SANA said preliminary information pointed to at least five people killed and 21 others injured in the blast.

Al-Mayadeen, citing local sources, said the attacker — reportedly a suicide bomber — detonated explosives inside the mosque while Friday prayers were underway.
