Alwaght- At least 12 Syrian people were killed in a bomb explosion at the western part of the Aleppo province on Sunday.
The explosion also left 50 Syrians injured, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The injured people include a bus driver, passengers and businessmen, some of them in critical conditions.
The bomb attack hit a checkpoint near the town of Afrin, northwest of the Aleppo city currently under Syrian army attacks to cleanse the terrorist and militant groups.
The blast comes as terrorists occupying Aleppo City’s eastern parts have in recent weeks launched fatal assaults against civilians and government forces in the west.
The surge in such attacks comes as the terrorists have been taking heavy blows from Syrian government forces on the Aleppo battle ground.
Late last month, the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura warned that the attacks by terrorists and militants could amount to war crimes. He voiced his shock at the indiscriminate use of heavy weapons by the militants during their onslaught on civilian suburbs in western Aleppo.
Since March 2011, Syria has been gripped by deadly militancy blamed on some Western countries and their allies in the Middle East region.
