Six suicide bombers detonated themselves in two security headquarters in Syria's central province of Homs on Saturday, killing at least 42 people, a monitor group and state TV reported.

Three of the suicide bombers went to the al-Ghouta area, and three others to the Mahata, to detonate themselves in the two security compounds, said the state-owned TV.

The TV added that the suicide attack was coupled with clashes in the targeted areas.

While the state TV said tens were killed, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 42 people were killed in the deadly explosion.

It's the first deadly bombing in a while in Homs, as the Syrian army became in control of the city, with efforts ongoing to dislodge the rebels from the countryside of that key province.
