Authorities have sealed off roads, and an investigation is underway.
“Preliminary findings indicate that the two explosive devices were improvised. One was placed inside a vehicle parked along the roadside, while the other was concealed in a trash container,” the Interior Ministry said, as cited by SANA.
The explosions were the second reported in Damascus within a week. Last Thursday, a bombing at a café in the Syrian capital killed 10 people.
