As usage

Are these sentences both correct and do they mean exactly the same:

1-Riots broke out in the capital as in the other major cities.
2-Riots broke out in the capital as well as in the other major cities.
  

Top answer

I'd say: Riots broke out in the capital, like in other major cities. Riots broke out in the capital, as well as in other major cities. I am not a native speaker, so you'd better wait for the "knowledgeable" ones.
