A car bomb has killed at least two people in Jaramana, on the southeastern edge of Damascus.
The explosion on Saturday killed a man and a girl and wounded another person. Syria’s internal security forces say they have sealed off the area and opened an investigation.
Al Jazeera’s Heidi Pett says security sources and emergency workers at the scene confirmed an explosive device was placed inside a Kia Rio.
Pett says that while the security situation continues to improve, there have been a number of other IED and car bomb attacks in Syria over the past year, which authorities have attributed to cells or individuals linked to ISIL.
She says the blast will have shaken people’s sense of safety, although most recent attacks have targeted security services rather than civilians.
