An explosion was heard on Tuesday in Damascus, according to the official Syrian news agency Sana. An AFP correspondent observed a vehicle in flames in the Bab Sharqi area, near the old city.


The Syrian Ministry of Defense confirmed that a soldier was killed in the explosion, and several members of the ministry were injured. The explosion, which appears to have been caused by a car bomb, targeted an administrative center for armaments.


Security forces have established a security perimeter around the incident site, and authorities are investigating the nature and cause of the explosion, as well as the identity of those responsible. Further details about the incident remain unclear, and authorities continue to assess the situation.
