A car bomb killed two people, including a child, and wounded another, in a suburb of Damascus on Saturday, Syrian Arab News Agency (Sana) said.

Authorities had "established a security perimeter at the scene and opened an investigation", it cited security forces as saying.

Syria has frequently been hit by explosions or attacks against civilians or security forces since the fall of former president Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.

In August another blast struck Jaramana, with the attack on a bus wounding 14 people, according to Sana.

In the capital Damascus, two devices exploded near a hotel where French President Emmanuel Macron was staying during a landmark visit in July. That blast left one person dead and 36 wounded.

Authorities blamed an organisation affiliated with the Islamic State group, which has previously claimed several attacks targeting Syrian security forces.
