At least five people were killed and 15 others injured in a suspected terrorist explosion at a cafe in the center of the Syrian capital, Damascus, Syrian state television reported on July 2, local time.
According to the report, a pre-installed bomb detonated at a cafe located near a courthouse in central Damascus.
The cafe was reportedly crowded with people at the time of the incident.
Specific details regarding the attack have not been disclosed, and no group has claimed responsibility.
Small-scale attacks have continued in Damascus since former President Bashar al-Assad was ousted in late 2024.
The 14-year Syrian civil war effectively ended after former President Assad was removed from power by current President Ahmed al-Shara and the rebel forces he leads.
