An explosion resounded this night in the Syrian capital Damascus, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA, referred to the Syrian news agency SANA.

No details were given in the information.

According to Syrian state television, the blast was the result of "Israeli aggression,", Reuters added, explaining that for years the Israeli army has been shelling its targets on Syrian territory that are linked to Iran.

These strikes have become more frequent since October 7 last year, when the radical Palestinian group "Hamas" attacked Israeli territory by surprise, triggering the war in the Gaza Strip, according to Reuters.
