Damascus, December 7 (Xinhua) — An explosion was heard in the Syrian capital Damascus on Sunday, eyewitnesses said.
According to local media, an acoustic bomb was detonated near the Freedom Bridge (formerly known as the Presidential Bridge) in the city center. There were no reports of damage or injuries.
The incident occurred amid preparations for events marking the first anniversary of the fall of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government.
Security measures have been tightened in Damascus and other cities across the country where large gatherings are taking place to mark the anniversary. On December 8, 2024, fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and allied groups launched a lightning offensive, rapidly advancing from northern Syria, capturing the country's capital, and forcing Bashar al-Assad to flee to Russia.
