Two large explosions have struck Syrian city of Deraa
Two large explosions have struck the Syrian city of Deraa, causing multiple casualties, according to the state-run news agency.
The blasts were reportedly followed by clashes between regime forces and rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad.
Activists said dozens of members of the Syrian security forces were killed when two cars loaded with explosives drove into a military camp, the Sky news reported.
In what could have been a double suicide attack, the first car was driven into the camp and exploded, followed by the second vehicle, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The blast from the second vehicle caused the casualties, it added.
