Explosions in Damascus injure at least 18 people during French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Syria, according to Syrian authorities. The blasts also injure four police officers, and the wider toll is reported as 18 wounded overall. Both outlets report that Syrian authorities attribute the injuries to the explosions occurring in the capital amid Macron’s ongoing trip. The Élysée Palace says Macron continues his itinerary despite the blasts, indicating the visit proceeds as planned. The reports do not provide additional details on who is responsible for the explosions or where they take place in the city beyond the fact that they occur during the time of the French president’s presence in Damascus. No further information is included in the provided summaries about the extent of the injuries or any follow-up security measures. The incident is therefore presented mainly as an attack or blast event that results in multiple injuries while Macron remains in Syria.
