A bomb planted on a minibus explodes in Jaramana, a suburb southeast of Damascus, killing two people and injuring 13 others, according to Syrian state media and health ministry statements. Multiple outlets report the blast occurs in Jaramana, a predominantly Druze area outside the Syrian capital. The health ministry says the two fatalities and 13 injuries result from the vehicle explosion, while a security source cited by Ekhbariya TV says preliminary information indicates the blast is caused by an explosive device placed on the minibus. Imagery reported by one outlet shows severe damage to the vehicle, including a blown-out roof and wreckage strewn in the area, consistent with an attack involving an onboard or planted device. Sources agree on the location near Damascus, the number of deaths, and the number of injured, while phrasing varies slightly between “two killed and 13 injured” and “two killed and 14 wounded.” The incident is reported as occurring on Thursday night.
