Syria mourns the scores of people killed in a drone attack on a military academy in the Homs region, one of the bloodiest strikes against the military in over 12 years of civil war. Several weaponized drones hit the academy's courtyard during a graduation ceremony, resulting in the deaths of at least 89 people.
