At least 65 people have been killed in multiple blasts in Syrian government coastal strongholds, reports say, the BBC reports.
Explosions hit the cities of Tartous and Jableh. Several of the blasts were suicide bombings, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
State media said packed bus stations and a hospital were among the targets.
Attacks of this scale are rare in these areas. A news agency linked to so-called Islamic State (IS) says the jihadist group was behind the attacks.
