Explosion hits U.N. monitor convoy - Syria's Addounia TV


    BEIRUT (Reuters) - A large explosion hit cars accompanying United Nations ceasefire monitors in the southern Syrian province of Deraa on Wednesday, injuring eight Syrian guards, a pro-government news channel said.

    There were no reports of any U.N. observers being injured, but Addounia television said the explosion happened in front of them and damaged cars, including one belonging to Syrian state media.
