At least 18 people, including 11 children, have been killed in two suicide bombings in the Syrian province of Hama, state media has reported. It said the "terrorist explosions" took place in Jibrin - north-east of Hama city - and al-Humeiri. The villages are under the control of the government. The attack comes days after scores of people were killed and injured in explosions in government-controlled parts of the central city of Homs.
