At least 18 people, including 11 children, have been killed in two suicide bombings in the Syrian province of Hama, state media has reported.
It said the "terrorist explosions" took place in Jibrin - north-east of Hama city - and al-Humeiri.
The attack comes days after scores of people were killed and injured in explosions in government-controlled parts of the central city of Homs.
An agreement was reached on Friday for rebels in Homs to withdraw.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that about 1,000 fighters were expected to pull out from rebel-held areas of the besieged city under the terms of a ceasefire.
Rebel fighters have long held onto districts in and around the Old City of Homs. The city has seen some of the worst fighting in the three years of the Syrian conflict.
City stormedThere has so far been no claim of responsibility for the Hama bombings, correspondents say, but al-Qaeda affiliated rebels of the Nusra Front have carried out several car bombings in recent weeks.
Both Jibrin and al-Humeiri are under the control of the government.

The popular market in Aleppo was reportedly packed with shoppers at the time of the air strike
Human rights groups say that both the government of President Bashar al-Assad and rebels fighting to depose him are killing civilians.
Hama saw some of the largest demonstrations against Mr Assad in the first months of the Syrian uprising after March 2011.
But in late summer 2011, security forces stormed the city and have maintained control ever since.
Hama's main city occupies a significant place in the history of modern Syria.
In 1982, then-President Hafez al-Assad, father of Bashar, sent in troops to quell an uprising by the Sunni opposition Muslim Brotherhood. Tens of thousands were killed and the city flattened.
OutragedThe violence in Hama province comes as the government subjects rebel-held areas in the northern city of Aleppo to fierce aerial bombardment as its forces try to end a long-standing stalemate in the city.
On Thursday at least 33 people were killed in an air strike on a market in the northern Halak district of the city.
The strike outraged The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) which described it as the "latest wave of indiscriminate attacks perpetrated against schools and other civilian targets" across the country.
