The death toll from a bus crash in central-eastern Syria has climbed to 35, with 30 other people reported injured. The incident involved two passenger buses, according to Syrian state media.
State news agency SANA said the updated casualty figures were provided by a Health Ministry official on Saturday. The latest numbers suggest the scale of the crash is more severe than initially understood.
Fatal road accidents often place heavy pressure on local emergency and medical services, especially when many passengers are involved. In this case, the number of dead and injured points to a major transport disaster in the area.
Authorities have not released further details in the available report beyond the location, the vehicles involved, and the casualty figures. Attention is likely to remain on the injured and on any additional official updates about the central-eastern Syria bus collision.
