Hours later, an explosion rattled the city of Nawa in western Daraa countryside. Local sources told Shafaq News the blast was caused by an old war shell that went off while garbage was being burned, with no casualties reported.
The incidents followed Saturday's car bombing on Damascus's Mazzeh highway, one of the capital's busiest routes, near the Golden Mazzeh Hotel.
