GermanyDuring French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Syria, two explosions occurred in Damascus, causing injuries to 18 people, including four police officers. The explosions were attributed to two improvised explosive devices discovered by security forces during an operation. One device was placed in a car parked on the roadside, and the other in a trash container. Both detonated during the defusing process. Despite the incidents, Macron remained safe and continued his visit, which marked the first time since 2010 that a European Union leader had visited Syria. Security authorities confirmed that the explosions did not pose a direct threat to Macron's accommodation or his schedule. Investigations are ongoing to determine the perpetrators.
