Two killed, several wounded as blast hits vehicle near Syria’s Damascus

An explosion occurred on a passenger minibus in Jaramana, a town southeast of Damascus, Syria, resulting in at least two deaths and 13 injuries. The blast, which took place during peak hours in the Rauda district, was attributed to an explosive device planted on the vehicle, according to a security source. Forensic teams recovered body parts from the scene, and witnesses described the force of the blast shaking the nearby commercial area. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. The incident occurs amid ongoing tensions in Jaramana, where clashes between Druze groups and government forces have historically occurred. The town, located 13 km from Damascus, has experienced periodic violence since the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad in 2024. Recent attacks in Damascus, including one targeting the Palace of Justice, have been linked to ISIS.
