One Person Killed in Car Explosion in Damascus's Mazzeh District: SANA
A car explosion in Damascus, Syria, killed one person on Saturday, according to the Syrian official news agency SANA.
The victim's identity was not disclosed.
The incident occurred in the Mazzeh district, and a police official reported that an explosive device caused the death.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, reported that three vehicles caught fire in the area.
Security incidents, including vehicle explosions, are common in Damascus.
An explosion occurred in Damascus, Syria, which is believed to be linked to the ongoing regional tensions, specifically the conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza.
This incident comes after a car bombing in an upscale neighborhood of Damascus last month that did not result in any casualties.
Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes in Syria since the civil war began in 2011, targeting both Iran-backed forces, such as Hezbollah, and Syrian army positions.
