A huge blast rocked the rebel-controlled city of al-Bab, killing and wounding at least 25 militants.

The explosion, which hit a headquarter for the Turkish-backed Sultan Murad Brigade, has took the lives of 10 militants, including 2 senior military commanders, and wounded 15 others.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack but local reports accused an ISIS suicide bomber who blew up his explosive vest inside the building.

The killed militants originally belong to the FSA-affiliated Ahrar Homs; an armed faction which fought the Syrian Army in the central city of Homs.

Once evacuated from their last bastion of al-Waer as part of a deal with the Syrian government, those militants joined the Turkish-sponsored Sultan Murad Brigade in the city of al-Bab.
