An explosion hit Damascus on Thursday, the second such attack on the Syrian capital in less than a week, Syrian state media reported.
State-run Sana described the attack as a “terrorist bombing,” that struck the Al Adawi district. The Russian embassy is located nearby.
Sana said no casualties have been reported. It said an explosive-rigged vehicle was responsible for the blast, which caused "material damage."
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least four people have been wounded.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Thursday’s blast comes two days after a car bomb struck the coastal city of Latakia, another stronghold of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The explosion killed one person.
It also comes less than a week after Syrian state media reported a terrorist attack on the capital. It said that the blast did not cause any casualties.
