<p>The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, which maintains a network of contacts inside the country, put the toll at 24 dead. Conflicting casualty figures are common in the Syria war.</p>
<p>The Sana news agency reported blasts in the coastal city of Tartus, the central city of Homs, a suburb of the capital Damascus, and the north-eastern city of Hasakeh.</p>
<p>Attackers detonated two bombs at the entrance to the government stronghold of Tartus along the international coastal highway, Sana said, killing five.</p>
<p>A car bomb at the Arzoneh bridge was followed by a suicide bomber wearing an explosive belt who targeted the gathering crowd. The city, a stronghold of support for President Bashar Assad, is home to a major Russian naval base.</p>
<p>The Observatory said the twin blasts killed 14 people and injured dozens more.</p>
<p>The governor of Homs province said a car bomb struck a military checkpoint in the provincial capital, Homs, killing two soldiers and injuring four others, one critically.</p>
<p>The city, Syria&#8217;s third largest, is largely under government control, with only one neighbourhood still under opposition control. Monday&#8217;s bomb exploded in the government-held Bab Tadmor district, Sana said.</p>
<p>An attacker detonated his motorcycle at the Marsho roundabout in the north-eastern city of Hasakeh, killing five, Sana said.</p>
<p>Government military forces withdrew from the city in August after street battles with the Kurdish autonomous self-defence force for the region, the YPG. The YPG and its political wing, the PYD, inherited control of the city, though the state&#8217;s police force remained.</p>
<p>The Observatory said the blast killed three members of the Kurdish police force, the Asayesh, and two civilians.<br />
Sana also reported an explosion in the Sabbourah suburb of the capital, Damascus, killing one. The Observatory said three people were killed.</p>
<p>There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the blasts.</p>
<p>The Islamic State group claimed twin suicide bombings in the neighbouring coastal towns of Tartus and Jableh in May in which more than 160 people were killed.</p>
