Bomb blasts killed scores of people in the Syrian coastal cities of Jableh and Tartus on Monday, and wounded many others in the government-controlled territory that hosts Russian military bases, monitors and state media said.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks in the Mediterranean cities, which up until now had escaped the worst of the conflict, saying it was targeting members of President Bashar Assad’s Alawite minority. (Reuters)
