Car explosion hits Atma border crossing, killing 35

Thirty-five opposition fighters were killed in a suicide bomb attack which targeted a bus at the entrance to the Atma border crossing separating Turkey with the north-east of Idlib. 

Orient News correspondent reported that the casualty toll is prone to rising due to the severity of the bombing. The reporter also pointed out to a number of critical injuries that the ambulance teams had to transfer to nearby Turkish hospitals.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing. However opposition fighters have pointed fingers towards ISIS, which is known to have carried out similar bombings in the past.
