Syrian security forces have foiled a Daesh (ISIS) bombing plot near Damascus, killing two militants in the process. The operation took place in the Sayyidah Zaynab area of the Damascus countryside, according to state media SANA, which cited the Interior Ministry. The militants were discovered during a nighttime patrol on roads leading to military barracks and government facilities.
The attack was prevented before it could cause casualties. The operation highlights ongoing security efforts in the region. Syrian state media reported the incident as part of broader counterterrorism operations.
Separately, an explosion in the Damascus suburb of Jaramana killed at least one person and injured several others, according to Syrian state media and a journalist on the scene. The blast hit a vehicle on the outskirts of the city.
The two incidents underscore the continued threat of militant activity in the Damascus area, despite government efforts to maintain security. (arabnews.pk)
