The blast occurred on a busy street, with the vehicle’s roof blown off and debris scattered across the road. Ambulances took the injured to nearby hospitals, while forensic teams worked to identify human remains. No group has claimed responsibility. Jaramana, home to Druze and Christian communities, has faced sectarian tensions and violence. The attack comes as Syria’s Islamist-led authorities seek to restore security after Bashar al-Assad’s fall in December 2024. Recent attacks in Damascus and its suburbs have included bombings during French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit and an explosion at a cafe. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - hindustantimes.com - timesnownews.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: bomb blast, Damascus, Druze community, Jaramana, Syria Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/minibus-bombing-near-damascus-kills-two-injures-13/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
