Bomb Blast in Damascus Suburb Injures 13, No Confirmed Deaths Reported
An explosion caused by a bomb planted inside a minibus in Jaramana, a suburb of Damascus, Syria, injured 13 people on August 6, 2026. Initial reports of two deaths were later corrected by Syria's Health Ministry, which confirmed no fatalities. The blast occurred on a busy street during peak hours, with passengers inside the vehicle. No group immediately claimed responsibility, though a minor group later did. The attack adds to ongoing security challenges faced by interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa amid sectarian tensions in the region.
