RNA - The scenes of martyrdom of these people are really painful and "a new scandal for the warmongers" and those who "have been instrumentally using terrorism for over 6 years" in Syria, Jaberi Ansari said on Sunday.

He extended his condolences to the Syrian people and families of the victims, and said the best soothing for them is all-out and sincere efforts to end the devastating and deadly war in Syria.

The death toll in a blast that occurred near a bus convoy evacuating residents from Shiite towns of Fua'a and Kefraya in Idlib to Aleppo rose to 100.

The car with the attacker approached the buses disguised as a vehicle transporting food.

The explosion hit the Rashidin Area on Aleppo's outskirts, as the bus was waiting for entering the city of Aleppo.

The blast was apparently caused by a suicide attacker who detonated an explosive device.

On Friday, a convoy of 75 buses arrived in Aleppo, evacuating thousands from the cities under attack.
