A booby trapped car exploded in the Sumerian Garage west of the capital Damascus on Tuesday killing 15 people at least and wounding dozens more, Al-Manar Website correspondent reported.
A suicide bomber was driving the car and parked it in the garage packed with citizens. Sumerian Garage is a crossroad between the city and its countryside, and presents the road leading to the province of Quneitra.
The victims are all civilians and death toll is expected to rise as several wounded suffer critical conditions. Medics said that the number of injured reached thirty.
Among the heavy material damage at the scene which also affected the surrounding houses, was a bridge for pedestrians, the first of its kind in Syria which is being built for 112 million Syrian pounds and is still under construction.
In the meantime, terrorist mortars haven't calm down in the Syrian capital. After Kassa'a, Bab Touma and Jaramana, a number of missiles landed Tuesday in the area of Sheikh Mohiuddin near Jebbeh square in the central capital, killing a child and wounding others, including a girl and a number of young men who were in the place.
Terrorist attacks also were carried out by opposition militias across Syria as Minister of Health said that five doctors, five nurses and two drivers were killed in Deir Atiyya following another massacre committed by takfiri groups which occupied the town.
Deputy Foreign Minister Fayssal Miqdad also stated that more than a country contacted the Syrian government to show cooperation with the Syrian state in the fight against jihadists.
