An explosion was reported earlier in the Al-Mazzeh, according to ANHA correspondent. Eyewitnesses stated that an improvised explosive device detonated inside a vehicle near the entrance to the Al-Mazzeh 86 area.

The Transitional Government’s agency quoted a security official in Damascus as saying that the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device inside a parked car targeting a member of the "Security Forces," and that it did not result in any human casualties.

Meanwhile, a correspondent from Sham TV reported that eyewitnesses heard an explosion in the villa area adjacent to Al-Mazzeh, noting that preliminary information suggests the targeted vehicle belonged to a female journalist.

Other sources, however, indicated that the explosion targeted a vehicle belonging to a security official within the Transitional Government forces.

Security forces subsequently closed all entrances to Al-Mazzeh 86 following the explosion, amid a heavy security presence.
