At least four people were killed and about 30 others wounded Wednesday when an improvised rocket struck a gas station in Syria's central city of Homs, state news agency SANA reported.

Citing official sources, SANA said the rocket struck a fuel tanker while emptying its load in the station, which caused the blast.

Syria has been witnessing deadly violence since March 2011 that left hundreds of thousands of people dead and injured.
