DUBAI: The Saudi Foreign Ministry has led the condemnation of the bomb attacks that took place in Damascus on Tuesday, injuring a number of civilians and security.
The explosions rocked Damascus on Tuesday as France’s president Emmanuel Macron met with his Syrian counterpart, Ahmad Al-Sharaa, in a landmark visit.
At least 18 people were injured including members of the security firces, Syria’s Interior Ministry said.
The blasts happened close to the hotel that Macron is staying at during his visit, although at the time of the blast he was reported to have said he was unaware of the any explosion
It was the second blast to rock the capital in a few days, and a setback for the country’s new president as he welcomed his first visit from a western leader since ousting longtime dictator Bashar Assad.
