An explosion attributed to a device placed in a car killed a man and his daughter and seriously injured a third person on Saturday in Jaramana, south-east of Damascus, according to Al Jazeera.
Syrian Internal Security Forces cordoned off the area and opened an investigation into the circumstances of the explosion. Jaramana is home to a large Druze community and has experienced tensions between some members of the minority and the Sunni majority supporting the government of President Ahmed al-Sharaa, reports Al Jazeera.
The incident comes amid several recent attacks in Syria. Syrian authorities had attributed an attack carried out in July during the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to a cell linked to Islamic State and announced, on 27 September, the arrest of four members of a cell accused of preparing several attacks, according to Al Jazeera.
