An apparent suicide bombing struck the electrical market near Syria's Supreme Court in central Damascus on Thursday afternoon, according to a single unconfirmed report. Casualties and the perpetrator's identity are not yet known.
A single unverified source reported a suicide bombing Thursday afternoon at the electrical market (Suq al-Kahraba) near the Palace of Justice and Syria's Supreme Court in central Damascus. The message, posted at 15:27 Jerusalem time, did not provide casualty figures, a specific time, or the perpetrator's identity. The location is a densely populated commercial area in the Syrian capital. This is the first report of a suicide bombing in Damascus in recent months, though the security situation in Syria — including sporadic bombings and assassinations — has remained volatile. As The Zioneer reported earlier, an explosion near a cafe at the Palace of Justice was reported at the same timestamp from a separate source, and the relationship between these two reports is not yet clear. No official Syrian government or military confirmation has been published.
