In Brief:
- A bomb planted inside a minibus exploded in Jaramana near Damascus.
- At least 2 killed and 13 wounded.
- Part of a broader wave of violence targeting Damascus since Bashar al-Assad was ousted in December 2024.
At least two people were killed and 13 injured when a bomb exploded inside a minibus on Thursday in Jaramana, a Damascus suburb populated largely by Druze and Christian communities. State media cited health officials confirming forensic teams were processing human remains at the blast site, where no group has yet claimed responsibility.
This attack comes amid a broader surge in security incidents targeting civilians across the capital since Islamist authorities took power following the toppling of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. These include recent Islamic State-linked bombings during French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Damascus.
