State-run television said at least 11 people, including children, were killed by the blasts on February 10 that targeted Syrian military and security buildings.
The broadcaster said the casualty toll was expected to rise, and blamed the attack on what it called “armed terrorist gangs.”
Antigovernment activists said three explosions had occurred in Aleppo, two of them targeting security-force bases.
Aleppo has been relatively quiet since protests against President Bashar al-Assad’s rule erupted in March.
Meanwhile, activists have reported that tanks on February 10 moved into a neighborhood in the flashpoint central city of Homs, as security forces continue their offensive against opposition protesters in the area.
Assad’s regime is facing increasing Western pressure over its 11-month-old crackdown against opposition protesters, which is estimated to have left upward of 6,000 people dead.
The Russian-backed Syrian government has blamed the unrest on a foreign conspiracy and says armed gangs and terrorists are leading the revolt, not protesters seeking democratic change.
