In the framework of the Bolivarian Diplomacy of Peace, Venezuela repudiated these incidents that “mourn the Syrian people and leave many families affected,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated.

Venezuelan Ministry conveyed its condolences to the families, friends and relatives of the deceased citizens and expressed its wishes for speedy recovery of absolute peace across Syria.

On Thursday, extremist groups attacked with explosive-laden air vehicles the graduation ceremony of the Military Academy.

Military sources revealed to this agency that 69 military personnel and civilians lost their lives in the attack, and another 210 were wounded.

The Syrian government decreed three days of public and official mourning for the victims, and flags will be at half-mast, while the Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the attack and described it as vile and cowardly.
