An explosion at a cafe in central Damascus, the Syrian capital, killed at least five people. Another 15 were injured in the blast.
Syrian state TV reported on the 2nd (local time) that an explosion suspected to be a terrorist attack occurred at a cafe in Damascus.
According to reports, the cafe where the explosion happened is near the Damascus courthouse. A bomb had reportedly been planted there in advance.
Those behind the attack have not been identified.
Since late 2024, after former President Bashar al-Assad was ousted, Damascus has seen a series of small and large attacks. After former President al-Assad was driven out by rebel forces led by current President Ahmed al-Shara, the Syrian civil war has effectively ended.
