Damascus witnesses, from time to time, the explosion of explosive devices placed in civilian or military vehicles, without clarifying the background, reasons, or party responsible for them. They are often linked, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, to personal disputes or settling scores.
An officer and four policemen were injured on Wednesday as a result of a vehicle explosion inside their duty station in Damascus, according to the Syrian Ministry of Interior, without clarifying the circumstances of the explosion.
“A police vehicle exploded within the campus of the Barzeh Police Station in Damascus, injuring an officer and four policemen, with varying injuries,” the ministry said in a statement posted on the Telegram app.
She stated that the injured were taken to the hospital, while “investigations are still ongoing to uncover the circumstances of the accident.”

On April 2, an explosive device placed in a civilian car exploded in the Al-Mazzeh neighborhood, lightly injuring two people, according to the official media at the time.
Since 2011, Syria has been witnessing a bloody conflict, which has caused the death of more than half a million people, widespread destruction of infrastructure, and led to the displacement of more than half of the population inside and outside the country.
