Damascus: A bomb attack hit a northeastern neighbourhood of the Syrian capital Thursday, state media said, in the third such explosion in a regime-held area in less than a week.
State news agency SANA reported "a terrorist bombing in the Adawi area with an explosive device planted in a car, causing material damage but no casualties".
The report came after the first explosion in Damascus in more than a year on Sunday, and a car bomb killed one in the regime's coastal stronghold of Latakia on Tuesday.
