Syria: Dead after explosion in minibus near Damascus

A bomb explosion on a public mini-bus near Damascus killed at least two people and injured 13 others in the suburb of Djerameh. The incident was reported by the official Syrian news agency Sana, citing the health ministry. Multiple ambulances arrived at the scene, according to AFP photographer reports, while AP noted a lifeless body recovered from the wreckage. Responsibility for the attack remains unclear. Djerameh is predominantly inhabited by Druze and Christian communities, where tensions have arisen between some members of the Druze minority and Sunni Syrians who support the current government. Despite efforts by President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s administration to restore security after years of civil war, several deadly attacks have occurred in Damascus since December 2024, when Bashar al-Assad was ousted by Islamist militias.
