"The twin bombings resulted in the martyrdom of more than 28 citizens, injuring 235 others, some of them are children while others suffer very severe injuries," the Syrian ministry added in its letter, reassuring that “since Syria has the right to protect its citizens and combat terrorism and violence, it calls upon the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities in combating terrorism and implementing the issued resolutions in this regard."
