Syrian army has clashed with foreign-backed militants in the western city of Homs, killing and injuring a number of the militants, Syrian media has reported.
The clashes took place on Monday with the government forces foiling the militants' attempts to detonate three explosive devices near Um al-Tababir village, official SANA news agency said.
An official source told the Syrian news agency that the militants who were planting the devices were killed in the clashes.
Meanwhile, Syrian soldiers also destroyed the foreign-sponsored militants' gatherings in several other districts including Bab Hood, Jouret al-Shayyah, al-Hamidieh and al-Warsheh.
Similar clashes erupted in several areas in the capital, Damascus. The Syrian troops killed and injured a number of militants in Adra and Erbin areas and eliminated terrorists and destroyed their weapons and equipment in Douma area.
A tunnel was discovered in Joubar neighborhood of the capital which was equipped with surveillance camera. The Syrian forces also found a number of explosive devices there.
In Aleppo, the Syrian troops destroyed weapons that were being transported by militants in cars from Turkey to Daret Azza.
Syrian forces also launched attacks against the militants in the governorates of Idlib, Daraya, Lattakia, Homs, Daraa, and Aleppo on Sunday and killed a large number of them.
The Syrian army has conducted successful operations against the Takfiri militants over the past weeks.
Western powers and their regional allies including the Israeli regime, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are supporting anti-Syria militant groups, including al-Qaeda-linked terrorists.
