A double bomb attack killed a least 44 people in the Kurdish-majority city of Qamishli in northeastern Syria on Wednesday, Syrian state television reported.
The official SANA news agency said at least 140 people were also injured when a suicide bomber in a vehicle blew himself up in a western neighborhood of the city.
The attack was initially described as a double bombing, but sources in the city and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights subsequently said the initial attack had caused a gas tank to detonate.
The area targeted houses several ministries of the local autonomous Kurdish administration.
In a statement published by the ISIS-linked Aamaq news agency, the group said it carried out the attack in Qamishli, describing it as a truck bombing that struck a complex of Kurdish offices.
The extremist group has carried out several bombings in Kurdish areas in Syria in the past.
