A car bomb near Damascus kills a father and daughter amid a series of explosions across Syria.
A suspected car bomb in Jaramna, a suburb southeast of the Syrian capital Damascus, killed a father and his young daughter on Saturday, November 14, and seriously injured his wife, according to an Al Jazeera report.
According to the report, the explosion originated from an explosive device planted inside a Kia Rio parked between two residential buildings.
Syria's internal security forces cordoned off the area and launched an investigation.
Jaramna, home to a large Druze community, has experienced tensions between some Druze residents and supporters of President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
The deadly explosion comes against the backdrop of a series of bombings and security incidents throughout Syria in recent months.
The previous incidents included a double-click attack in July, which Syrian authorities attributed to an ISIS-affiliated cell, and a deadly bombing at a cafe frequented by lawyers near the Palace of Justice in Damascus.
Syrian authorities also reported thwarting planned attacks and arresting suspected ISIS operatives, including four people arrested in September in connection with attacks in several districts.
Despite claims of apparent security improvements since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government, repeated explosions and armed attacks continue to highlight the fragile security situation in the country.
