Damascus: At least 13 people have been killed while three others sustained injuries in an explosion targeting a Syrian army bus in central Damascus. The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Wednesday.
The state agency referred to the blast as a "terrorist bomb attack".
According to reports, two explosive devices went off as the bus was on the Hafez al-Assad bridge and a third device was defused by an army engineering unit.
Pictures on the TV channel showed the charred cabin of the bus.
There is no confirmation of the cause of the incident.
Such incidents have been rare in the Syrian capital in recent years despite the country's 10-year civil war as the regime has secured much of the country.
As per United Nations (UN), at least 350,000 people were killed in the civil war, following protests against President Bashar al-Assad
In October 2020, a car bomb in the Syrian capital killed Damascus Mufti Adnan Al Afiyuni.
